在关于艾滋病毒预防战略的国家对话中，相对较少考虑到数百万受到刑事司法系统影响的妇女和女孩，她们要么被监禁，要么被其伴侣监禁。统计数据表明，这些妇女和女孩感染艾滋病毒和其他性传播感染或面临感染风险的比例过高，而这种风险在很大程度上与导致她们被监禁或与被监禁男子发生关系的动态和环境直接相关。当我们在我们的国家艾滋病毒/艾滋病战略中寻找公共卫生和惩教卫生之间的联系时，必须将受监禁影响的妇女和女孩面临的风险、障碍和机会纳入讨论。必须制定促进性别平等的艾滋病毒预防政策和做法，以应对这些妇女和女孩面临的独特风险和机会。本文介绍了艾滋病毒的风险和其他健康问题的数据，具体到这个社区的妇女和女孩，讨论了关键因素时，考虑制定性别敏感的艾滋病毒战略，这些社区，并提出建议，纳入国家艾滋病毒/艾滋病战略和其他国家和地方的艾滋病毒预防工作。爱思唯尔公司出版
Within the national dialogue of HIV prevention strategies, relatively little consideration is given to the millions of women and girls affected by the criminal justice system, either through their own incarceration or that of their partners. Statistics indicate that these women and girls are disproportionately infected or at risk for HIV and other sexually transmitted infections and much of this risk is directly related to the dynamics and circumstances that led to their incarceration or relationships with incarcerated men. As we look for the link between public health and correctional health within our National HIV/AIDS Strategy, it is imperative that the risks, obstacles, and opportunities facing women and girls affected by incarceration are brought into the discussion. Gender-responsive HIV prevention policies and practices must be developed to address the unique risks and opportunities for these women and girls. This paper presents data on HIV risk and other health issues specific to this community of women and girls, discusses key factors for consideration when developing gender-responsive HIV strategies for these communities, and makes recommendations for inclusion in the National HIV/AIDS Strategy and other state and local HIV prevention efforts.
