The AIDS
Foundation of Chicago's (AFC) 2005 Policy Priorities—Call to Action
provides an in-depth look at the critical state and federal issues facing
people living with and affected by HIV/AIDS this year. Among the most
important of these is the need to address the disproportionate impact
of HIV/AIDS in correctional settings.
Mirroring
national trends, Illinois' burgeoning correctional system is a revolving
door for HIV/AIDS and hepatitis C. To stem the spread of the epidemic,
Illinois must significantly improve HIV prevention, treatment, discharge
planning, and community re-entry services.
The following
pages detail AFC's proposal to address HIV/AIDS in correctional settings
and highlight other state and federal policy goals designed to fight the
epidemic.
