Preventing HIV and other harms among people who inject drugs – and providing them with effective, appropriate, and voluntary treatment where needed or wanted – are essential components of national HIV responses, yet often present major challenges. People who inject drugs in low- and middle-income countries have limited and inequitable access to HIV prevention and treatment services. In prisons and pre-trial detention settings, access to comprehensive HIV prevention, treatment and care is even more limited despite evidence that drug use and sexual activity are prevalent in these settings.
