A screening program to diagnose, link to care, and treat for Syphilis, HIV and Hepatitis C in the Dominican Republic’s penitentiary system. This project provides a field experience of the implementation of a screening program within a complex penitentiary system and looks to share the lessons learned to further improve the health outcomes of incarcerated persons. Staff, civilians, and incarcerated persons were tested and most have been linked to care as required. Details will be provided regarding age, origin, sex, sexual behaviors, condom use and IVD use.
