This study describes the interrelatedness of AIDS, tuberculosis (TB), and injection drug use (IDU) among persons in Georgia diagnosed with AIDS in correctional facilities. Epi Info 6 was used to analyze the cumulative statewide AIDS surveillance database. Persons diagnosed with AIDS in correctional facilities (n=408), compared to those diagnosed elsewhere (n=20,872), were nearly three times as likely to have been reported with an IDU-related mode of HIV transmission and nearly four times as likely to have been reported with. IDU and TB were common among persons diagnosed with AIDS in correctional facilities. These data can be useful to help guide corrections-related public health program activities and prevention interventions.
