An Effective HIV Response Means HIV Decriminalization
Informing Health-friendly Drug Policy in Africa
Considerable resources have been spent on estimating the size of populations of people who use drugs (PWUD) and people who inject drugs (PWID) in Africa. Precise estimates are elusive, not least because of stigma and criminalization faced by these populations. Bio-behavioral surveys focused on injection drug use can be useful but are expensive and have not always been designed and implemented with meaningful participation of PWID themselves. A pa…

The Elusive Search for Rights-Centred Public Health Approaches to Drug Policy
While it is common for United Nations member states in international meetings to espouse ‘public health approaches’ to drug policy, actual policies appear not to have caught up with this rhetoric. There is a lingering over-emphasis in narcotic drug policies on policing and incarceration at the expense of urgently needed investment in health and social services for people who use drugs. These policies have lethal consequences in the transmission o…
Criminal Justice Barriers to Treatment of Opioid Use Disorders in the United States
Expanding access to treatment of opioid use disorder (OUD) is central to addressing the US overdose mortality crisis. Numerous barriers to OUD treatment are encountered in criminal justice institutions and processes, with which people with OUD are disproportionately involved. OUD treatment access is severely limited in US corrections facilities, with few exceptions. Drug treatment courts, which in principle provide court-supervised treatment as a…

Reports of police beating and associated harms among people who inject drugs in Bangkok, Thailand
A high proportion of IDU in Bangkok reported having been beaten by the police. Experiencing police beating was independently associated with various indicators of drug-related harm. These findings suggest that the over-reliance on enforcement-based approaches is contributing to police-perpetrated abuses and the perpetuation of the HIV risk behaviour among Thai IDU
Occupational safety and HIV risk among female sex workers in China
Female sex workers (FSWs) in China are exposed to multiple work-related harms that increase HIV vulnerability. Using mixed-methods, we explored the social-ecological aspects of sexual risk among 348 FSWs in Beijing. Sex-work harms were assessed by property stolen, being underpaid or not paid at all, verbal and sexual abuse, forced drinking; and forced sex more than once. The majority (90%) reported at least one type of harm, 38% received harm pro…

Compulsory drug detention center experiences among a community-based sample of injection drug users in Bangkok, Thailand
BACKGROUND: Despite Thailand's official reclassification of drug users as "patients" deserving care and not "criminals," the Thai government has continued to rely heavily on punitive responses to drug use such as "boot camp"-style compulsory "treatment" centers. There is very little research on experiences with compulsory treatment centers among people who use drugs. The work reported here is a first step toward filling that gap. METHODS: We exam…
Vertical HIV transmission should be excluded from criminal prosecution
Prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV (PMTCT) is an important part of global and national responses to HIV and AIDS. In recent years, many countries have adopted laws to criminalise HIV transmission and exposure. Many of these laws are broadly written and have provisions that enable criminal prosecution of vertical transmission in some circumstances. Even if prosecutions have not yet materialised, the use of these laws against HIV-pos…
As strong as the weakest pillar
Harm Reduction, HIV/Aids, and the Human Rights Challenge to Global Drug Control Policy
The global HIV/AIDS pandemic, and the role of unsafe drug injection as one of its principal drivers, have added to the list of harms associated with unsafe drug use. HIV/AIDS has highlighted ways in which prohibitionist drug policy causes or contributes to such harms and focused attention on the international regime of illicit drug control. At the same time, HIV/AIDS has catalyzed the "health and human rights movement" to articulate legal and pol…

Nutritional status of preschool children in Northern Vietnam
After three decades of war and social turmoil in Vietnam, infant mortality is high and related health and nutritional problems are widespread. Studies which have investigated health or nutrition characteristics of the Vietnamese population are scarce. This paper offers the first multivariate analysis of nutritional status of Vietnamese children in recent history. The relationship between a number of household‐level variables and nutritional outco…
