Materials and methods. An anonymous survey was conducted using a specially designed questionnaire and HIV antibody assays, by applying a rapid test for the qualitative detection of HIV antibodies in the paragingival fluid samples of 370 homeless people.
Results. Most of the respondents were men (74.3%); the mean age was 45.7 years. The prevalence of HIV infection among the homeless people was 3.8%. Among HIV-infected respondents, 62.5% reported having a history of injecting drug use. Almost half (44.8%) of the respondents had sexual intercourses, but did not use a condom. Only 5 out of 14 people with previously diagnosed HIV infection received full medical care.
Conclusion. The prevalence of HIV infection among the study homeless people exceeded the rate among the general population of the Russian Federation, but it was lower than that in other key groups at risk for HIV infection. It is necessary to introduce prevention programs for safe sexual behavior and condom distribution among homeless people. It is advisable to develop measures to ensure that the patients of this group have access to medical care for HIV infection.
