I found out this week that there are clinics attached to prisons. However, not all over them are equipped to test or treat HIV. The prisoners clinic in Hardap region, attached to Mariental prison has no counselling or testing or Anti-retroviral treatment offered.
So what are the consequences of this inadequacy? No treatment for people? Perhaps there is an outreach policy, whereby doctors from another facility come to treat.
But as I read in "Struggle to Survive", treatment is dependent on the whims prison wardens, who can barr a prisoner from treatment at their discresion.
