The estimated prevalence of HIV among incarcerated individuals in the United States is approximately 10%, which is significantly higher than the prevalence in the general population.

Chlamydia is the most common STI among incarcerated individuals, followed by gonorrhea, syphilis, and hepatitis C.

All of the above are challenges of providing sexual health services in correctional settings. Lack of privacy, stigma and discrimination, and limited access to healthcare can all make it difficult for incarcerated individuals to receive the sexual health services they need.

Incarceration can impact sexual health in a number of ways, including increased risk of STIs, difficulty accessing sexual health services, and increased risk of sexual violence.

All of the above strategies can be used to improve sexual health in correctional settings. Providing comprehensive sexual health education, increasing access to condoms and other barrier methods, and offering STI testing and treatment can all help to reduce the risk of STIs and improve the overall sexual health of incarcerated individuals.
