The United States now has the highest incarceration rate in the world. The majority of prison and jail inmates come from predominantly nonwhite and medically underserved communities. Although incarceration has adverse effects on both individual and community health, prisons and jails have also been used successfully as venues to provide health services to people with HIV who frequently lack stable health care. We review demographic trends shaping the difficulties in providing care to incarcerated people with HIV and recommend the Centers for AIDS Research Collaboration on HIV in Corrections as a model of interdisciplinary collaboration in addressing those difficulties.
美国现在拥有世界上最高的监禁率。大多数监狱和看守所的囚犯来自以非裔和其他少数族裔为主、医疗服务不足的社区。尽管监禁对个人和社区健康都有不良影响,但监狱和看守所也已成功地被用作向经常缺乏稳定医疗保健的艾滋病毒感染者提供医疗服务的场所。我们审查了影响向感染艾滋病毒的被监禁者提供护理的困难的人口趋势,并建议艾滋病研究中心合作组织艾滋病毒在惩教机构中的合作,作为解决这些困难的跨学科合作模式。
