People who are incarcerated have a disproportionately high risk of contracting human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). While there is no known cure for HIV, there are biomedical approaches that can successfully manage the virus and prevent its transmission. A total of 267 men who are incarcerated completed a cross-sectional survey focused on cancer health, HIV prevention, and mental health in three state prisons. The mean age was 39 years. The majority had an annual income of US$10,000 or less, self-identified as heterosexual, not married, had children, did not have any military status, and identified as African American/Black. Less than 4% indicated that they had heard about Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP), and only 3% had heard of Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP). PrEP and PEP effectively prevent HIV infection, but little attention has focused on increasing the knowledge and awareness of these HIV prevention interventions in the incarcerated population.
在押人员感染人类免疫缺陷病毒 (HIV) 的风险极高。虽然目前还没有治愈 HIV 的方法，但有一些生物医学方法可以成功控制病毒并防止其传播。共有 267 名在押男性在三所州立监狱完成了一项关于癌症健康、HIV 预防和心理健康的横断面调查。他们的平均年龄为 39 岁。大多数人年收入在 10000 美元或以下，自认为是异性恋，未婚，有孩子，没有任何军事背景，认定为非裔美国人/黑人。不到 4%的人表示听说过暴露前预防 (PrEP)，只有 3%的人听说过暴露后预防 (PEP)。PrEP 和 PEP 可以有效地预防 HIV 感染，但很少有人关注提高在押人群对这些 HIV 预防干预措施的认识和了解。
