An inmate with HIV complained that he hadn’t been receiving testosterone and other supplements he required to prevent muscle deterioration. He told us he needed to see a specialist, and that health care staff at his facility weren’t responding to calls from his HIV support worker. After our staff intervened, the facility arranged for his testosterone and supplements and sent his bloodwork to a specialist for assessment.
