Although HIV risk reduction interventions and family programs are crucial elements of the rehabilitation process for women offenders, these programs have operated in isolation from each other. HIV interventions for women offenders have not attended to family relationships, and family programs for women offenders have not focused on HIV-related issues. Because the number of women under correctional sanction has increased dramatically and HIV infection and risk for HIV infection in women offenders are growing concerns, we argue that family programs need to consider HIV-related issues within a family relationship perspective.
