Abstract | This article describes an on-site program for HIV and hepatitis C (hep-C) services at a parole office in an impoverished U.S. state. Both officers and their supervisees participated in the program. The officers attended workshops on the biology of HIV, and hep-C, and workplace safety, and collaborated in development and implementation of the services. The supervisees received HIV and hep-C education, voluntary testing, and referral for treatment after a positive diagnosis. Test results showed that few supervisees were positive for HIV and 16% of White individuals were diagnosed with hep-C. These findings support the need for on-site services for supervisees in community corrections. |
