ForwardOpportunities for Preventing and Treating HIV in the Criminal Legal System
Kentucky is among the states leading the country in HCV infections. It is critical for professionals to have current knowledge to provide effective treatment and education for patients. According to the CDC, Kentucky is at high risk for a HIV outbreak if introduced into the drug using population. HIV therapy was previously limited due to lack of treatment options, but more therapy options increase choice for patient treatment and challenges for providers. Screening for drug misuse is critical to the prevention of or early intervention in addiction.
The criminal legal system presents a critical opportunity to address the HIV epidemic by providing testing, treatment, and prevention services to a highly vulnerable population. Incarceration can serve as a pathway to HIV diagnosis, care, and treatment, while also posing risks for transmission if not managed effectively.
Target Audience
Physicians, physician assistants, advanced practice nurses, nurses, pharmacists, dentists, social workers, health educators and therapists who currently provide or could provide care services to persons living with HIV/AIDS or Hepatitis C.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
1. Identify opportunities for intervening with HIV prevention and treatment within the complex criminal legal system.
2. Discuss the dangers of transition within and between the criminal legal system and the community.
3. Review evidence-based HIV prevention and treatment practices within the criminal legal system.
