Each prison facility is different. Often times, no, prisoners are not tested for HIV. Sometimes, prisons allow agencies to provide testing to inmates. However, if someone were to test HIV positive in the prison, the prison is then resposible for their medical care, which is expensive. That plays a role in why many facilities only allow prisoners to be tested directly before being released.
