People who are incarcerated (PWAI) in Canada are far more affected by sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections (STBBIs) such as hepatitis C virus, HIV, hepatitis B virus and syphilis, compared to the overall population. In correctional centres (provincial or federal) many barriers to care for STBBIs have been identified. Therefore, identifying strategies to address these barriers are crucial to increase access to STBBI testing and linkage to care among PWAI.
