This is not high quality reporting but an HIV prevalence of 90% in Lekone prison would make it the highest prevalence in a prison in the world.

Prisoners in Myitkyina, capital of Kachin State in northern Burma have
largely been discovered to have TB and HIV/AIDS infection, local sources
said.

There are over 1,400 prisoners in Lekone prison, the biggest prison at
Lekone Quarter in Myitkyina Township.  About 90 percent have been found to
be infected with HIV/AIDS, sources close to the prison said.

The prisoners are put together without partitions in the prison and all of
them seem to have been infected. It is either minor lung related diseases,
HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis (TB) or pneumonia sources said.

Most prisoners in Lekone are drug addicts and have been sentenced for
seven to 10 years in prison.  They are now taking anti-TB drugs and most
of them caught the infection in prison, sources added.

The prisoners are banned from using mosquito nets, listening to radio and
handling pieces of paper in the prison by the authorities, the sources
added.

Some incurable AIDS infected prisoners have been sent to Myitkyina
government hospital and were found to have TB as well. They are suffering
from weakness, weight loss and chronic diarrhea, according to hospital
sources.

In Kachin State, HIV is mainly transmitted by intravenous drug users
(IDUS), unprotected sexual relations and lack of knowledge among the local
population, said local and international NGOs' sources in Myitkyina.
