HIV infections in Russia reach record-high and account for almost two-thirds of new cases in Europe (title altered to fit)
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/wo...-a7520246.html
Two-thirds of all new HIV cases in Europe are being recorded in just one country – Russia.
More than a million Russians now live with the virus and that number is expected to nearly double in the next decade, in what has been called Europe's HIV epidemic.
The statistics were revealed in a report by the European Centre for Disease Control and the World Health Organisation, which found that 153,407 people across Europe were newly diagnosed with the illness in 2015.
Of these, 64 per cent of all cases were registered in Russia – equal to 98,177 people – which is up from the 60 per cent of all cases in Europe a year earlier.
The UK is in third place after Ukraine, with 6,078 new HIV diagnoses in 2015, the latest figures show.
“HIV transmission is still a major concern in Europe," the report warns.
“Despite significant efforts dedicated to the prevention and control of HIV in Europe, the number of new HIV diagnoses has not declined substantially over the last decade in the western part of the region and has more than doubled in the east.”
The report said the increases were being driven mainly by heterosexual transmission in Russia and eastern Europe and in men who have sex with men in western and central regions.
It calls for a new action plan to tackle the “HIV epidemic in Europe and end the AIDS epidemic as a public health threat by 2030”.
But devising a continent-wide health plan will be tricky as the experience of individual countries varies wildly.
While Croatia attributes more than 80 per cent of new HIV diagnoses in 2015 to sex between men, in Estonia less than 10 per cent of new cases are recorded with that mode of transmission.
Likewise, in Belgium a tiny fraction – less than five per cent – of cases are blamed on injecting drug users, while in neighbouring Luxembourg around 30 per cent of new diagnoses are needle-related
Aidsmap, which interpreted the findings, said the 98,177 new cases recorded in Russia last year equated to one HIV diagnosis for every 1,493 Russians.
That compared with one diagnosis for every 13,157 people across the rest of the continent.
HIV diagnoses in Russia have more than doubled over the last ten years, up 133 per cent since 2006 and 15 per cent in just a year.

Let me guess, this is Trumps fault? Must be a coincidence we have a Trump/Russia/prostitutes/sex thread and then this appears.
Trump has aids confirmed!

Chances are it was Charlie sheen, but I do not think Trump is involved.

Since it's Russia it must be the EU's fault for infecting Russians with a costly and potentially deadly diseases in order to keep the country down. Originally Posted by Torto

Serious answer, I do wonder why (since the article isn't stating it) and what the potential consequences are for the rest of the continent. Saying it it's 2/3 of new infections of Europe doesn't do it enough justification in regards to the dangers of this disease given that difference between number 1 and 2.

That is actually kind of really severe, the article doesn't point it out but Russia has about 5 times as few citizens as the European nations (depending on how many of them you include).

Went to Moscow last summer. They want you to be HIV negative if you stay there more than 3 months. I thought they were really serious about it but apparently...

Ancient history but when AIDS was new Russia was one of those countries who said "AIDS is only a problem in the decadent West, not here." That denial let the disease spread. I don't know if that's responsible for all of the problem but it is for some of it.

Most likely due to poor contraceptive education and practices.

Soviet Union "said" this, not Russia. And it was right about it. In USSR HIV was almost non-existent. So no, it was not a denial. It was a fact, mostly due to top notch decease prevention strategy (under socialism with its free health-care it is better to prevent decease, then to cure it) and conservative way of life (no "sex,drug and rock'n'roll" way of life). When Russia took Western capitalistic way of life - it accepted many of the problems this way of life has, including HIV. Originally Posted by Hubcap

Awful sex-ed plus the anti-homosexuality laws.
Not being allowed to even talk of homosexuality clearly reduces the information that homosexuals get about the risks of unprotected sex, hence the higher number in comparison to the rest of Europe. Really unfortunate to have life threatening deceases spread like that due to government negligence.

In Western and Central Europe? Originally Posted by Vordie

only 1.5% of those who have HIV in Russia got infected through homosexual contacts. Please, stop pushing your agenda at every case possible. Originally Posted by Vordie

Russian poster (me) actually was the first in this thread who pointed out, that a HIV problem is mostly due to narcs. Originally Posted by Cyberowl
