Abstract

We designed a study to follow newly-released prisoners with HIV in the great prison of Tehran from October 2013 to May 2014. Among 34 patients, only 12 persons (35.3%) had a successful follow-up. Using encouragers, offering appropriate incentives and enabling patients to connect with healthcare services after release can be effective means to continue the treatment. © 2015 Asian Pacific Tropical Medicine Press.
