The inclusion criteria in the study were: (i) being inmate at the men’s long-term detention building, the women’s detention building or the infirmary inpatients ward during the study period; (ii) signing the informed consent form. 100% of participants were supposed to undergo TB tests (chest X-Ray, sputum AFB testing, sputum culture). As shown in Fig 1, in the men’s long-term detention building (92% of the overall sample size), 99% of participants actually had an X-Ray, 99% had AFB testing, and 98% had sputum culture. These figures were 97%, 60% and 60% in the women’s building (7% of the overall sample size). The reasons why these figures are not 100% are logistical (some participants could not provide sputum; some X-Rays failed for technical reasons). Finally, all participants were proposed HIV testing, but only those who accepted underwent the test.
