AB Informations on HIV/AIDS in prisons which include 32 prison-systems in
17 European countries have been collected. The principle of equivalence
of preventive measures and health care between prisons and the outside
community, prison authorities should strive to prevent HIV transmission
in prisons. There have been major developments in effective prevention
programmes in the community, there has been less progress within the
prison-systems. Information on AIDS is provided to prisoners in almost
all prison-systems. While condom distribution is practiced in a growing
number of systems, no prison systems have adopted syringes/needle
distribution or exchange during incarceration. A few system have
accepted distribution of a disinfectant (diluted bleach) with
instruction on cleaning injection materials. Despite clear
recommendations made by international bodies in 1987/88, it must be
concluded that discrimination and segregation (restriction from access
to workshops, specially work in kitchens) remain widespread in 1992.
