- W288156632 abstract "The prevalence of HIV in prisons is often higher than in the surrounding community, because prisons contain a high proportion of injecting drug users (IDUs). Reliable estimation of HIV prevalence in UK prisons only began in the 1990s. Edinburgh, Scotland, experienced a major IDU-related HIV epidemic which began in 1983. We sought retrospectively to estimate HIV prevalence in Edinburgh Prison over the period 1983-94.Prison records of all 477 male HIV-positive patients (332 IDUs) in the Edinburgh City Hospital Cohort (believed to include three-quarters of HIV-positive Edinburgh IDUs) were abstracted from Edinburgh Prison. Using this information and the seroconversion intervals of the patients, the number of person-years spent inside the prison by these individuals while HIV-positive was estimated for each calendar month. From this, HIV prevalence was inferred.HIV prevalence in the prison rose from January 1983, as prevalence among Edinburgh IDUs increased, reaching a peak of 8% in December 1984. Prevalence during 1985-86 was 5-6% and then gradually declined, as the surviving HIV-infected IDUs spent less time in the prison.These figures are probably underestimates, as some HIV-positive prisoners are not in the cohort. However, the degree of underestimation should not be great and trends over time are reliable. Our estimate for August 1991, 4.1%, compares favourably with the estimate 4.5%, from an anonymous unlinked survey conducted in the prison that month. Prevalence estimates from other UK prisons are reviewed and suggestions made for other uses of database linkage in HIV and IDU epidemiology." @default.
