For a pilot prevention program in Russian prisons, Médecins Sans Frontières conducted research on prisoner risk behaviors with full support from Russian prison authorities. Analysis of data from 1,044 15-30-year-old prisoners produced evidence of HIV/AIDS risks in prisons. One percent of prisoners surveyed reported all three prison risk activities--engaging in sex, injecting drugs, and getting a tattoo. Two-by-two table analysis consistently showed statistically significant associations between risk activities. These results conservatively describe the presence and nature of such risks: Risks do occur, risks vary and the relationships between risks vary, and Russian prisoners already take steps to reduce risk. This evidence helps to justify and informs HIV/AIDS prevention and health promotion interventions in the Russian prison system.
在俄罗斯监狱开展一项预防试点项目期间，无国界医生组织在俄罗斯监狱当局的全力支持下，对囚犯的危险行为进行了研究。对1044名年龄在15至30岁之间的囚犯的数据进行分析后，得出了监狱中存在艾滋病毒/艾滋病风险的证据。接受调查的囚犯中有1%报告称参与了所有三项监狱危险活动——发生性行为、注射毒品和纹身。两两表格分析始终显示，危险活动之间存在具有统计学意义的关联。这些结果保守地描述了此类风险的存在及其性质：风险确实存在，风险各不相同，风险之间的关系也各不相同，而且俄罗斯囚犯已经采取措施降低风险。这一证据有助于为俄罗斯监狱系统中的艾滋病毒/艾滋病预防及健康促进干预措施提供正当理由并提供信息。
