Abstract:
The United States has the highest number of people incarcerated in the world. Criminal-legal involved populations, including people who are incarcerated in jails and prisons and people who are under community carceral control through probation or parole are at an increased risk for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Increasing access to HIV testing, treatment and prevention is necessary to curb the HIV epidemic. This chapter outlines the history of HIV testing in jails and prisons and suggests a Status Neutral HIV Care Framework for improving access to HIV prevention services.
