Worldwide, prisoners are more at risk of being infected by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) as well as hepatitis C and B in comparison with other risk groups. The combination of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), addiction and prison are factors that threaten the health of our society. Influence of risky behaviors is so common on transmission of AIDS into prisoners' bodies. This study used available information and reports to investigate the prevalence of HIV in Iranian prisons.
The following review of documents available in national and foreign databases, a total of 26 studies were investigated and required information was extracted from both the full papers and abstracts.
The selected studies differed methodologically in their sampling method and data collection tools. Within the 26 studies analyzed, there was a combined study cohort of 39707 people in whom HIV prevalence varied between 0% and 24.40%.
In this study, HIV prevalence ranged widely among the prisoners, and in most of these studies, the rate in Iran was higher than that of other countries. The prevalence of disease was highest among intravenous drug users. Unless proper preventive and control plans among risk groups such as prisoners are not implemented in a timely and suitable manner, the risk of infection in the broader society will increase.
在全球范围内，与其他风险群体相比，囚犯感染人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）以及丙型和乙型肝炎的风险更高。获得性免疫缺陷综合征（AIDS）、成瘾和监狱这三者的结合是威胁我们社会健康的因素。危险行为对艾滋病传播到囚犯体内的影响非常普遍。本研究利用现有信息和报告调查了伊朗监狱中HIV的流行情况。
对国内外数据库中可用的文件进行如下综述，共调查了26项研究，并从全文和摘要中提取所需信息。
所选研究在抽样方法和数据收集工具方面存在方法学差异。在分析的26项研究中，共有39707人的综合研究队列，其中HIV流行率在0%至24.40%之间。
在本研究中，囚犯中的HIV流行率差异很大，并且在大多数这些研究中，伊朗的流行率高于其他国家。疾病流行率在静脉吸毒者中最高。除非及时且适当地对囚犯等风险群体实施适当的预防和控制计划，否则更广泛社会中的感染风险将会增加。
