Materials and methods. Information contained in the domestic central and regional press., submitted to Yandex search queries at https://dzen.ru/news for the following topics: «HIV,» «HIV infection,» and «AIDS» from January 1, 2021, to August 1, 2025, was analyzed. A total of 354 publications from 140 sources covering the issue of HIV infection were analyzed, including 142 (40.1%) articles in the central media and 212 (59.9%) in the local regional press.
Results. The number of publications focusing on HIV infection accounted for 0.04% of all national press publications and less than 1.0% of regional publications. The most active national publications were: Izvestia – 111 publications (78.2%), Vesti – 13 (9.1%), Interfax – 5 (3.5%), Moskovsky Komsomolets – 2 (1.4%), Gazeta.ru – 2 (1.4%), and AIF.ru – 2 (1.4%). The primary focus was on official HIV statistics. Only 1 article (2.4%) was devoted to HIV prevention measures, indicating insufficient attention to this issue in the press.
Conclusion. Intensifying participation in HIV prevention campaigns should be an urgent priority for the domestic media.
