Tackling Blood-Borne Viruses in Prisons: A framework for best practice in the UK

The NAT (National AIDS Trust) has produced an updated version of Tackling Blood-Borne Viruses in Prisons - A framework for best practice in the UK (374KB PDF). The original framework was published in 2007 and has had a considerable impact on the way that prisons approach blood-borne virus prevention and testing, as well as care for those living with HIV, hepatitis B or hepatitis C. Tackling blood-borne viruses is an important public health concern, and investing in appropriate services will ensure long-term cost-effectiveness.
