Incarceration is a crisis among African Americans, and the prevalence of HIV/AIDS in incarcerated men and women is 3-5 times that of the general population. We explore the potential implications of the widespread incarceration of African Americans on HIV risk and HIV outcomes in: 1) the current and formerly incarcerated, 2) their sexual partners, and 3) the communities impacted by incarceration. We set forth a research agenda for understanding and ameliorating the negative impacts incarceration and conclude that the African-American population's ability to successfully address the HIV/AIDS epidemic requires a coordinated and evidence-based response to the challenge of effectively preventing, managing and treating HIV in populations affected by incarceration.
监禁在美国非裔人群中是一场危机，被监禁的男性和女性中艾滋病毒/艾滋病的患病率是普通人群的3至5倍。我们探讨了美国非裔人群广泛被监禁对以下人群的艾滋病毒感染风险和艾滋病毒相关结果的潜在影响：1）目前正在服刑和曾经服刑的人，2）他们的性伴侣，以及3）受到监禁影响的社区。我们提出了一项研究议程，以了解并减轻监禁带来的负面影响，并得出结论，非裔人群成功应对艾滋病毒/艾滋病流行的能力需要对受监禁影响人群中有效预防、管理和治疗艾滋病毒的挑战做出协调一致且基于证据的应对。
