  "description": "<p>HIV antibody was detected in 27 of 450 prisoners (6.0%), in a crosssectional<br>\nstudy carried out in the major prison of Dire Daloia district, in<br>\neastern Ethiopia. Syphilis was found to be very common in the prisoners.<br>\nOverall, 31.6% of the prisoners had a positive VDRL. The rate in<br>\nprisoners who were HIV positive was 63% or 17 out of 27. A concurrent<br>\ndiagnosis of syphilis was strongly associated with HIV seropositivity.<br>\n(Odd&#39;s ratio = 4.09). Recent admission to prison within the past three<br>\nmonths was strongly associated with HIV positivity (Odd&#39;s ratio = 3.72);<br>\n21 of the 27 HIV positive prisoners had been in prison for less than three<br>\nmonths. Factors found important in other studies on prisoners and AIDS,<br>\nsuch as homos(3xuali ty and intravenous drug use were not found to be<br>\nfeatures of prisoners in Dire Dawa. Surprisingly, significant<br>\nassociations could not be proved between number of prostitute contacts or<br>\nnumber of sexual contacts per month before prison and HIV positivity</p>",
