Objective. Analysis of the epidemic situation of HIV infection in the Russian Federation by the end of 2022 to monitor the epidemic process and the influence of ongoing activities.
Materials and methods. The data of long-term dynamic monitoring of the characteristics of the epidemic process of HIV infection in Russia, carried out in 1987–2022, were summarized at the Central Research Institute of Epidemiology, Russian Federal Service for Supervision of Consumer Rights Protection and Human Well-Being on the basis of reporting and accounting forms of statistical observation.
Results. By the end of 2022, 1,168,076 people lived in the country with a laboratory-confirmed diagnosis of HIV infection, excluding 461,879 patients who died during the entire follow-up period. In 2022, 45,037,376 blood samples from Russian citizens were tested for HIV, which was 10.9% more than in 2021. The incidence rate of HIV infection in the Russian Federation increased by 3.8% compared to 2021 and 2020 and amounted to 43.29 cases per 100 thousand population. In 2022, 63,150 new cases of HIV infection and death of 34,410 HIV-infected Russians were reported. The total number of people living with HIV continues to grow, the prevalence of HIV infection as of December 31, 2022 was 794.7 cases per 100,000 population. Active transmission of HIV infection was observed both among the general population of reproductive age through heterosexual sexual intercourse, and in traditional risk groups.
Conclusion. The effectiveness of antiretroviral therapy in the context of HIV prevention remains insufficient, mainly due to the significant number of HIV-infected people who are not covered by medical care and a significant proportion of patients with an unsuppressed viral load.
