Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: HIV/AIDS is overrepresented among prisoner and minority populations prompting the need for more empirical research into understanding and reducing HIV risk behaviors among these individuals. The current study summarizes findings from a longitudinal study of 235 parolees who completed an in-prison therapeutic community and 100 parolees from a matched untreated comparison group. Face-to-face interviews were conducted with each parolee approximately 6 months after their release from prison during which a series of questions were asked regarding HIV-risky sexual and drug use behaviors. Findings showed that many parolees participated in a variety of HIV-risky behaviors during the 6 months following their release from prison. African Americans had higher rates of risk behaviors compared to Caucasians and Hispanics. Parolees who used alcohol or illicit drugs during the 6-month post-release follow-up also had higher rates of HIV risk behaviors. Prison-based drug abuse treatment when followed by residential aftercare was related to reduced HIV risk behaviors associated with drug use, including fewer individuals who had unprotected sex while intoxicated or “high” or who had used injection drugs. Those who received prison-based treatment only had rates of risk behaviors similar to those shown by the untreated comparison group. Re-entry appears to be a critical window of opportunity for addressing HIV risk behaviors and doing so may improve the public health of local communities particularly in urban areas.
