Prison and HIV

Women in prison should have access to health care of the same range and quality as that of the general population. If you are on treatment, it is important that it is not interrupted while you are in prison, and that you receive regular health monitoring. If you are denied access to your treatment or regular check-ups, report it as soon as possible to the prison healthcare team.
