Developing an AIDS program in a juvenile detention center
1988
Gelber, S.
The Dade County Juvenile Center in Florida was used as the example institution to determine what is currently being done in juvenile facilities in reference to AIDS. The facility holds 200 youth for an average of 14 days. Mandatory screening and testing was not done although testing was offered to high risk youth. In fact, only those showing symptoms were offered blood tests. However, the author discusses problems and topics affecting screening procedures such as housing, counseling, availability and other factors. The author concludes that not enough is being done despite the ideal situation for testing, screening and education.
