I'm not aware of this particular issue ever being tested. I'm certain there would be arguments for both sides of the privacy; but in general I would state that the fact of incarceration does not remove the privacy rights to medical information contained in HIPAA (at least in spirit). But in the same paragraph I would include that if there is a concern to exposure of a transmittable disease by a victim of the crime, the fact involved could not be with-held; as it is an injury tied directly to the crime.
