It has been said that there is little likelihood of risk contact between people with learning disabilities in institutions and HIV infected people in the community and also that the shift of patients with learning disabilities from large institutions towards the community does not augur well for the prevention of HIV infection. There is little evidence for either of these views.

RelevanceThe HIV epidemic, registered worldwide since the early 1980s, is currently continuing its development in most countries, and, according to the Joint United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS, 2016), covers more than 36 million people (including 1.8 million children) AIDS mortality is a key indicator of the effectiveness of the response to the HIV epidemic. On the example of the Irkutsk region as a region with high lesion, an analysis of the main indicators and causes of death of patients with HIV infection was carried out.Goal– analysis of the mortality of HIV / AIDS patients by the example of a region with a high degree of defeat in order to determine the key criteria for evaluating activities to reduce the mortality from HIV/AIDS.Materials and methods An analysis was made of the causes of mortality of patients with HIV infection in the Irkutsk region in 2014– 2016, using comparative data of modern domestic and foreign literature (including total mortality), as well as accounting and reporting documentation of the Irkutsk Regional Center for prevention and control of AIDS and infectious diseases.Results 1.There is an increase in the death rate of HIV-infected people, including those caused by HIV. 2. The increase in mortality practically does not lead to an increase in mortality due to a parallel increase in the number of people living with HIV. 3. The main causes of death from HIV infection (AIDS) are pathologies with primary respiratory system damage: tuberculosis and pneumonia, which requires special attention in developing approaches to diagnosis, recording, treatment and prevention of these diseases, as well as assessing the impact of vaccination of patients with HIV infection against pneumococcus on mortality from pneumonia. 4. The increase in ART coverage of all patient populations contributes to the stabilization of mortality from HIV/AIDS.Conclusions:the most important for assessing the impact of ongoing efforts of the health system to reduce mortality among HIVinfected patients is the correct registration and diagnosis (including posthumous) of AIDS-indicative diseases, certainly associated with the progression of HIV infection.

Prevention Of Hiv

The article analyzes modern approaches to combatting the HIV epidemic including the potential and shortcomings of the nosocentric model, as well as the basic tools that encourage desirable behavior for the prevention and treatment of disease. Study of pre-contact prevention of HIV and COVID-19 infection among patients already infected with HIV shows that there is no direct relationship between awareness and patterns of preventive behavior. Potential ways to update the information available about the disease by making individuals aware of the risk of infection due to communication are examined. The author points out a lack of differentiation in communication strategies and underemphas is on informing people. The ideas of specialists about a direct relationship between information and the formation of desirable behavior are analyzed with regard to HIV infection. The opportunity to correct these ideas in the process of training specialists is explored, and the potential for attracting specialists by applying technologies that prevent emotional burnout is shown. The feasibility of an interdisciplinary patient-centered approach to providing medical care for HIV infection is confirmed. Factors that prevent the introduction of communication-based technologies in actual clinical practice are analyzed as are the trend toward a simplified guardianship approach to solving problems in the prevention of infection and the predominant use of monologue-based directive forms of communication. The formation of desirable behavior for prevention of HIV infection, commitment to maintaining health, and compliance with a dispensary’s regime for observation and treatment of HIV infection are considered as a two-way process of interaction in a system that embraces both the specialist and the patient.
