OBJECTIVES. To describe the relation between HIV infection and prisons in Mexican men. METHODS: The 1990-1993 6146 men sentinel database was analyzed. 1065 men with antecedents of imprisonment were selected. Sociodemographic profile, practice of risk factors to HIV were analyzed and compared to the seroprevalence with confirmation by western blot. RESULTS: The general seroprevalence in this group was 3.7%. Mean for age: 29.57 standard deviation 11.93. Singles 54.5%. 39.65 had children. 64% had basic education and 10.4% had professional studies. 83.6% had relations with women 21.45% had relations with men and 14.3% had relations with women and men. Risks factors: sex with men outside the prision odds ratio 10.54 Cornfield 95% confidence interval (CI) 4.90 < or < 23.10.

Homosexual and bisexual practices were more prevalent outside the prision 21.4% than inside the prision 10.3%. Intravenous drug use was more prevalent outside the prision 15% than inside the prision.
