HIV policies in Australian prisons: a structured review assessing compliance with international guidelines.

Globally, people living with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) are over-represented in incarcerated populations. The current study aimed to provide a national (Australian) snapshot of current HIV prison policies against the United Nations' (UN) 15 key HIV interventions for prisons. Publicly available policies, reports, and data were obtained, and interviews were conducted with prison health staff in five of eight Australian jurisdictions.
