Background

CDC and HRSA supported a collaborative corrections initiative for HIV Prevention, Intervention, and Continuity of Care Within Correctional Settings and the Community. This program addressed the Healthy People 2000 topical areas of HIV Infection & Clinical Preventive Services.  The goals of this initiative were to:

• Improve the health status of both incarcerated & at-risk disproportionately affected African-Americans and other racial minorities, especially HIV infected persons, and their communities by increasing access to HIV/AIDS primary health care & prevention services; improving HIV transitional services between corrections & the community; and developing organizational supports & linked networks of comprehensive HIV health & social services;
• Develop and evaluate models of linked networks of health services (HIV/AIDS, STD, TB, hepatitis, and substance abuse prevention & treatment during and after incarceration) for replication by other primary care, prevention, criminal justice, and community service organizations; and
• Create a continuous stream of intervention, primary care, prevention, and psychosocial support & referral systems that link correctional and community settings to improve the health seeking behaviors and health outcomes  of populations/individuals most affected by HIV/AIDS.
