A 3-year interactive and passive training for HIV prevention education was conducted for 2,600 prisoners; 1,404 (54%) black, 1,092 (42%) white and 204 (4%) Hispanic. Less than 520 (20%) of inmates knew all the routes of HIV transmission. A post-presentation test showed that 96% became aware of HIV/AIDS transmission and can better protect themselves. Skin infections caused by Staphylococcus aereus were reported and manifested clinically as pustules, cellulites, boils, carbuncles or impetigo. Though no systemic infection was involved, staphylococcal infections suggest lowered immunity, an indicator to undiagnosed HIV. This study purposefully provides HIV prevention education model for prison health educators.
对2600名囚犯开展了为期3年的艾滋病预防教育互动式和被动式培训；其中1404人（54%）为黑人，1092人（42%）为白人，204人（4%）为西班牙裔。不到520名（20%）囚犯知晓所有艾滋病病毒传播途径。培训后的测试表明，96%的人了解了艾滋病病毒/艾滋病传播知识，能够更好地保护自己。报告了由金黄色葡萄球菌引起的皮肤感染，临床症状表现为脓疱、蜂窝织炎、疖、痈或脓疱病。虽然未涉及全身感染，但葡萄球菌感染表明免疫力下降，这是未诊断出艾滋病病毒感染的一个指标。本研究旨在为监狱健康教育工作者提供艾滋病预防教育模式。
