Seventeen male, former inmates with HIV were interviewed about their experiences with HIV in a jail or prison in the southeastern region of the United States. Participants reported that stereotypes and prejudicial attitudes about HIV/AIDS were widely held by other inmates, and that concerns about HIV/AIDS stigma affected their decisions about HIV disclosure. The results suggest the need to better educate inmates and institutional staff about HIV/AIDS stigma and to increase privacy protection for inmates with HIV, especially in the context of providing medical care and dispensing medications.
对美国东南部地区一所监狱中的 17 名男性前囚犯进行了采访，了解他们在监狱中感染 HIV 的经历。参与者报告称，其他囚犯普遍存在对 HIV/AIDS 的刻板印象和偏见态度，对 HIV/AIDS 污名化的担忧影响了他们决定是否披露 HIV 感染状况。研究结果表明，需要加强对囚犯和机构工作人员进行 HIV/AIDS 污名化的教育，并增加对 HIV 感染者的隐私保护，特别是在提供医疗服务和配药的情况下。
