Preface
This brief is based on a research study on the experiences of prison inmates living with HIV, conducted in three prisons in the state of Maharashtra, India. Based on seven case studies of prison inmates living with HIV, the author explores the healthcare services in three prisons in Maharashtra, India, and highlights the major issues and problems faced by prison inmates living with HIV. The study also highlights the views and experiences of prison doctors and other prison staff vis-à-vis HIV in prisons. The results of the study aren’t conclusive, but are hypotheses based on the study findings that raise questions and highlight areas for future research.
