Each year over 30 million men and women spend time in prisons and other closed settings, of whom over one third are pretrial detainees. Virtually all of them will return to their communities, many within a few months to a year.

This paper is designed to support countries in mounting an effective response to HIV and AIDS in prisons and other closed settings. It takes into consideration principles of international law, including international rules, guidelines, declarations and covenants governing prison health, international standards of medical ethics and international labour standards.

The comprehensive package consists of the 15 interventions that are essential for effective HIV prevention and treatment in closed settings. While each of these interventions alone is useful in addressing HIV in prisons, together they form a package and have the greatest impact when delivered as a whole.
