Moldova Expands Harm Reduction Services to All Prisons

This video discusses how any new prisoner to the country’s 17 penitentiaries sees a psychiatrist, a doctor and if needed is offered to join a treatment programme. Comprehensive harm reduction services not only include drug dependence treatment but also needle syringe exchange and HIV testing and treatment. HIV prevalence is 11% among people who inject drugs in Moldova vs 0.36% among the general population.  They are one of the most affected groups in the country. UNAIDS, UNODC and WHO have been long-time supporters of expanding these services to all prisons.
