Efforts are needed to eliminate compulsory drug detention and instead, provide PWID with HIV prevention and testing services and effective drug dependency treatment by medical professionals. Detention centers are administered by police, military or other national government public security authorities and operate outside the form criminal justice system with detainees held without trial or right of appeal and those detained do not allow people to leave voluntarily (Wolfe, 2012). Studies found that women who use drugs were not given reproductive health services, including PMTCT services in compulsory detention and/or prison settings. Detoxification programs were substandard and ineffective. Despite high rates of HIV, antiretroviral treatment is largely unavailable in compulsory drug detention centers. One study found high rates of injecting drug use within prison and high rates of syringe sharing within prisons plus incarceration was not associated with reduction in drug use, with over a quarter of these female drug users. PWID in and out of prison who have started antiretroviral treatment should be able to continue treatment with access to medical supervision. Treatment in compulsory drug detention takes the form of sanction rather than therapy, with high relapse rates.
