CDC and HRSA support a collaborative corrections initiative for HIV Prevention, Intervention, and Continuity of Care Within Correctional Settings and the Community. This program addresses the Healthy People 2000 priority areas of HIV Infection & Clinical Preventive Services. 

Goals

• Increase access to health care & 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: 1) Increasing access to HIV/AIDS primary health care & prevention services; 2) Improving HIV transitional services between corrections & the community; and 3) Developing organizational supports & linked networks of comprehensive HIV health & social services.
• Models of linked networks of health services (HIV/AIDS, STD, TB, hepatitis, and substance abuse prevention & treatment during and after incarceration) will be developed and evaluated for use by other primary care, prevention, criminal justice, and community service organizations. 
• Demonstration projects must 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

For Updates on Demonstration Projects visit the National Minority AIDS Council web site.  Here you will find the latest edition of Inside OUT, the newsletter of the CDC/HRSA Corrections Demonstration Projects.
