2006年4月，印度尼西亚有89，708名囚犯。大多数人被指控犯有与毒品有关的罪行。监狱的工作能力过剩，医疗预算微乎其微。艾滋病造成的死亡人数有所增加，特别是在注射毒品者中。官方数据显示，监狱中的艾滋病毒感染率平均为22%，2002年底，法务省决定促进针对囚犯的艾滋病毒/艾滋病预防和护理活动，以防止艾滋病毒在监狱内传播，并从监狱传播到整个社区。2005年，司法部启动了《印度尼西亚囚犯艾滋病毒/艾滋病预防、护理和支助国家战略》。印度尼西亚艾滋病毒/艾滋病预防和护理项目积极参与了这些方案的设计，并与其他组织一起支持在一些监狱实施这些方案。印度尼西亚国家战略是亚洲第一个此类战略，也是为数不多的专门针对囚犯的艾滋病毒/艾滋病预防和护理的国家战略之一。它促进了教育，以及为囚犯提供避孕套、漂白剂、美沙酮和抗逆转录病毒疗法，本文介绍了《囚犯艾滋病毒/艾滋病预防、护理和支助国家战略》，这将有助于控制艾滋病毒在注射毒品者中的流行，并最终使整个社区受益。
There were 89,708 prisoners in Indonesia in April 2006. The majority were charged for narcotics-related crimes. Prisons are working at over-capacity and with miniscule healthcare budgets. There has been an increase of deaths due to AIDS, particularly among people who inject drugs. Official data shows that HIV prevalence averages 22% in prisons.In late 2002, the Ministry of Justice (MOJ) decided to promote HIV/AIDS prevention and care activities for prisoners to prevent the spread of HIV within prisons, and from there to the community as a whole. In 2005, MOJ launched the Indonesian National Strategy for HIV/AIDS Prevention, Care and Support for Prisoners. The Indonesian HIV/AIDS Prevention and Care Project has been actively involved in the design of these programs and supported their implementation in several prisons, together with other organizations. The Indonesian National Strategy is the first of its kind in Asia, and one of only a few dedicated national strategies for HIV/AIDS prevention and care for prisoners. It has enabled education, as well as the provision of condoms, bleach, methadone and antiretroviral therapy for prisoners.This paper describes the National Strategy for HIV/AIDS Prevention, Care and Support for Prisoners, which will help control the HIVepidemic among people who inject drugs and ultimately be beneficial for the community as a whole.
