Federal Inmates

The article addresses some of the issues raised in federal correctional institutions by the generation and communication of personal medical information pertaining the HIV infection. It examines, first, whether medical information pertaining to federal inmates — information considered confidential between medical staff and an inmate — can be disclosed absent the inmate's consent. It then examines what conditions or criteria determine whether or not such disclosure is ethically and legally justifiable, and if disclosure is justified, what conditions apply to its disclosure. Finally, specific situations in which a claim for disclosure may arise are examined. The article concludes that in federal correctional institutions, the disclosure of personal medical information absent consent of the person is seldom justifiable. In most situations, such disclosure is unnecessary and even appears to be counterproductive or harmful. Measures that can be undertaken to prevent exposure to and infection with HIV have to be undertaken regardless of whether an inmate or staff member is or is not known, to staff, wardens, or inmates, to be infected with HIV.

Hiv Aids

Thailand's prisons are overcrowded, house many prisoners at high risk of HIV infection, and have a high turn-over of prisoners. Prevention and management of HIV is therefore important both for prisoners and staff and for the wider population. It is argued that although HIV/AIDS policy in Thailand's correctional institutions has often lagged behind policy developments in the wider Thai society it has nevertheless become more liberalised. Segregation and testing have been abandoned in favour of education and universal preventative precautions. Problems with financial and human resources continue to hamper the effective implementation of policy. There is also a greater need for co-operation between correctional services and non-government organisations to support HIV-positive prisoners upon their release.
