Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Issues related to HIV/AIDS in prisons have traditionally received little attention at the International AIDS Conference, despite the fact that levels of HIV prevalence within prison populations tend to be much higher than in the general population. However, the conference in Bangkok may represent a turning point. This article highlights some of the relevant findings presented at the conference. A longer version of this article, including background information about HIV/AIDS in prisons worldwide, has been published in the September 2004 issue of Infectious Diseases in Corrections Report.
