Abstract

Anthropologists have made crucial contributions to the fight against AIDS, creating culturally sensitive AIDS education and prevention programs and documenting and contextualizing the experiences of those suffering with AIDS, as well as having an impact on AIDS policy formation and execution. Efforts have usually focused on the needs of groups of individuals having high prevalence rates of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, within their populations. Jail and prison inmates with HIV/AIDS, a group whose numbers are increasing at an extraordinarily rapid rate, have been overlooked. Yet this group, too, would benefit immeasurably from the input of anthropological inquiry.
