HIV spreads across nearly 30 Russian regions: Rospotrebnadzor data

Rospotrebnadzor reported the spread of HIV in nearly 30 regions of Russia

HIV is being detected in nearly 30 regions of Russia, with the infection increasingly found outside traditionally identified risk groups. Rospotrebnadzor warned about this, according to published reports.

According to the data provided, the proportion of men aged 40 to 50 living with HIV exceeds 3%. This indicates that the problem affects not only specific population groups.

Experts are paying particular attention to cases of infection transmission in medical facilities. It is reported that the level has reached its highest values in recent years.

However, current official data on the number of new cases, routes of infection transmission, and regional statistics are necessary to assess the scale of HIV spread. The information provided alone does not allow determining how the incidence has changed compared to previous periods.
