1 School of Public Health and Community Medicine HIV prevalence, incidence and mortality in prison: A global overview Professor Kate Dolan and Babak Moazen Program of International Research and Training National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre UNSW, Sydney, Australia

2 Background Prison settings have characteristics that increase HIV transmission Elevated levels of HIV, HBV, HCV, TB & mental illness Widespread risky behaviour, few prevention/treatment measures Unless HIV is controlled in prison it may be uncontrolled in the community Yet prison settings are a practical point of HIV prevention and treatment

3 Background Drug dependence key factor in prison growth US popn up 13% prison popn up 33% PWIDs prisoners up 43% 1/3 of 200,000 heroin users in US imprisoned annually 60% of PWIDs in a 12-city study been in prison Re-incarceration rates very high for PWIDs- In Australia, 84% of PWIDs inmates were re-incarcerated in 2 yrs of release versus 44% of all prisoners. They had a mean of 5 imprisonments.

4 Aim Global systematic review of the HIV situation in prisons on A.Imprisonment rates B HIV prevalence C HIV incidence D AIDS related mortality E Services provided in prison The time period under observation January 2008 to April 2013.

5 Methods A multilingual (English, German, Spanish, Croatian, French, Arabic, Portuguese and Russian) desk review of the literature A survey of UN staff and experts List of Countries from http://www.unaids.org/en/regionscountries/countries/ Imprisonment rates from the International centre for prison studies http://www.prisonstudies.org/info/worldbrief/

6 Results Identified 4,640 peer reviewed papers and 8,292 documents Total number of documents used was 261 10 million prisoners - 3 million on pre trial remand in the world BUT 30 million individuals enter and leave prison - 90% male The world average rate of incarceration was 144 per 100,000

23 Summary of the number of countries per Region with HIV programs

24 Conclusions and Recommendations Good prisoner health is good public health: High turnover of inmates mean diseases contracted inside leave prison. High imprisonment rates in regions- non custodial sentences Few data on prevalence, incidence and mortality Low prevalence in Latin & MENA time to intervene increase ARV, OST, condoms Reduce prison populations: OST in community, divert PWIDs Legal obligation to medical treatment same level as in the community. Compassionate release from prison for inmates in final stages of AIDS.
