Abstract
: The spread of HIV among the prison community is the subject of considerable concern among pressure groups and prison authorities alike. This article examines the approach taken to the care of HIV positive prisoners in England in the light of arguments about prisoners' rights. Four areas are examined in detail; testing for HIV infection; confidentiality of information concerning HIV positive prisoners; the contrast in care facilities provided to those with HIV inside and outside prison; the involvement of HIV positive prisoners in experimental drug trials. The article concludes by examining the role of a rights based analysis when determining policies of care for these prisoners.
