Giving a voice to (former) prisoners in the debate on prisoners’ health

Giving a voice to (former) prisoners in the debate on prisoners’ health The XVI International AIDS Conference, “AIDS 2006”, took place from 13 to 18 August and attracted 26,000 researchers, physicians, front‐line workers, advocates and others involved in the fight against HIV/AIDS from more than 170 countries. More than ever before, issues related to HIV/AIDS in prisons were presented and discussed. On the first day of the conference, a satellite meeting organized by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, the Public Health Agency of Canada and the Correctional Service of Canada debated issues related to HIV/AIDS in prisons in great depth. At the Conference itself, two oral sessions and a large number of poster presentations were dedicated to HIV/AIDS in prisons. In addition, the United Nations released an important guidance document on issues related to HIV/AIDS in prisons (see elsewhere in this issue). Most activities focused on HIV prevention, although delegates also heard about efforts to make HIV treatment, including ARVs, available to prisoners in developing countries http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png International Journal of Prisoner Health Emerald Publishing

Abstract

The XVI International AIDS Conference, “AIDS 2006”, took place from 13 to 18 August and attracted 26,000 researchers, physicians, front‐line workers, advocates and others involved in the fight against HIV/AIDS from more than 170 countries. More than ever before, issues related to HIV/AIDS in prisons were presented and discussed. On the first day of the conference, a satellite meeting organized by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, the Public Health Agency of Canada and the Correctional Service of Canada debated issues related to HIV/AIDS in prisons in great depth. At the Conference itself, two oral sessions and a large number of poster presentations were dedicated to HIV/AIDS in prisons. In addition, the United Nations released an important guidance document on issues related to HIV/AIDS in prisons (see elsewhere in this issue). Most activities focused on HIV prevention, although delegates also heard about efforts to make HIV treatment, including ARVs, available to prisoners in developing countries
