Primary HIV Infection/Acute Retroviral Syndrome: An Intervention Opportunity for Correctional Facilities

HIV/AIDS Bureau, 5600 Fishers Lane, Room 7A-55, Rockville, Maryland 20857

Unprotected sexual intercourse and injection drug use continue to occur in correctional facilities where HIV infection is prevalent. Some inmates will develop acute symptomatic retroviral syndromes during their incarceration. Since combination antiretroviral treatment of these primary infections may alter the course of HIV disease, we recommend that correctional facilities educate their primary care providers regarding the recognition and treatment of the acute retroviral syndrome.
