An interview with Heino Stöver on the European Joint Action’s work on infectious diseases in prisons

The艾滋病毒和联合感染预防和减少伤害的联合行动(HA-RECT)解决了注射药物(PWID)的人中预防HIV和包括结核病(TB)和病毒肝炎在内的预防HIV和共同感染的知识差距。该项目主要由欧盟资助,并由18个成员国的23个合作伙伴实施。还有14个其他合作伙伴,包括European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control(ECDC) and theEuropean Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction(EMCDDA)。

联合行动计划elimina作出贡献tion of HIV and reductions of TB and viral hepatitis among PWID in the EU by 2020 and focuses on member states with gaps in effective and evidence-informed interventions. The project also encourages the implementation of comprehensive harm reduction programs in all EU member states as an essential strategy for improving the prevention and treatment of HIV, TB and viral hepatitis.

Here’s my interview with Prof Heino Stöver, steering committee member ofha-ther, work package lead for “harm reduction and continuity of care in prisons,” and professor of social scientific addiction research at the Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences.

是什么影响了您决定参与新成立的艾滋病毒和联合感染预防和减少伤害的联合行动(HA-RECT)?

尽管欧洲卫生政策已经成功提高了人们对艾滋病毒和病毒肝炎的威胁的普遍认识,但对所有在该领域工作的人来说,囚犯的感染率和其他囚犯的其他健康问题仍然是一个重大挑战。在被监禁时继续使用毒品并且减少伤害的囚犯人群中,这种威胁变得更加复杂。如果未经治疗,该人群非常容易受到额外的传染病,并且经常遭受与成瘾有关的其他问题,例如释放后过量,脓肿,暴力暴力和社会心理问题。

How do you see your role as lead on the “Harm reduction & continuity of care in prisons” work of the Joint Action?

监狱健康是公共卫生,因此这种情况对社区中的家人,朋友和前囚犯至关重要

我的角色是收集所有相关信息,以便向监狱当局和主要利益相关者告知传染病在监狱中传播的情况以及释放后增加的传播风险和与毒品有关的致命过量风险。监狱健康是公共卫生,因此,这种情况对社区中的家人,朋友和前囚犯至关重要。我们还将确定良好实践的例子,这些例子适合作为其他国家医疗服务,其他国家的管辖权等的指导模型,等等。

Why focus on HIV, TB and viral hepatitis in Europe?

我们需要大量基于证据的运动来提高认识并吸引主要利益相关者

对这些感染和减少伤害的关注对于避免囚犯的长期健康问题和市政当局的医疗保健挑战至关重要。这些感染性疾病的治疗越早,消除它们或抑制其传播的机会就越好。有令人信服的模型显示,如果没有采取任何行动,将会发生负面趋势。我们需要一项大量基于证据的运动来提高认识并吸引主要利益相关者。

What can we expect as a result of the work of HA-REACT?

结果将是收集有关欧洲基于监狱的医疗保健和减少损害服务的尽可能多的可用信息和出版物。此外,在项目期间,我们将开发电子学习平台作为减少伤害的培训模块,监狱和阿片类药物替代计划中的针头交换和避孕套。最后,我们将提供有关监狱中吸毒者状况的全面概述,并将在监狱的针头交易所发布。

HA-REACT在监狱健康方面的工作希望实现什么?

Over the next 3 years we hope to increase awareness of the situation of vulnerable people in prisons and of the necessity to deliver quality healthcare in prisons equivalent to the level delivered in the non-prison community. There are many barriers to be overcome in reaching this goal. However, there are also a number of good examples where harm reduction measures and more generally good health care services are working well. We will use HA-REACT to achieve cohesive European improvement.

We are hypocrites,
From the 90’s when I joined the Romanian prisons, I heard only about the relationship between prisons and public health, in various forms: as prisons concentrates infectious diseases, they are a favorable background for the spread of infectious diseases, that they are a epidemiological health pump outside the walls, they are even an epidemiological bomb (about TB and MDR-TB in prisons in some former Soviet countries).
事实在哪里?研究领域是否有一致的后果?不!
最近,在《监狱传染病基于证据的指导》的ECDC项目中,到目前为止,最重要的结果是,在领域中尚无研究或研究。
