The Path to Implementation of HIV Pre-exposure Prophylaxis for People Involved in Criminal Justice Systems

Abstract

The criminal justice (CJ)-involved population in the United States (US) is among the most vulnerable to and heavily impacted by HIV. HIV prevalence is three to five times higher among incarcerated populations than in the general population and one in seven people living with HIV (PLH) pass through CJ systems each year. Among racial and ethnic minorities, HIV and incarceration are even more closely intertwined: one of every five HIV-infected black or Hispanic/Latino adults passes through CJ systems annually
