What a disgrace. They are all so afraid of getting infected even though they are less than 50 years on average.

Quick google check: The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation is a research institute working in the area of global health statistics and impact evaluation at the University of Washington in Seattle.

Agreed. What a complete wank...

Good find.
That slimy autistic POS really is everywhere

Quite a few years ago, Russia had a breakthrough in HIV research. They were injecting mothers expecting, whom were HIV positive, that their offspring would also be HIV positive but the child isn't affected by it. Most antiviral drugs were to prevent the child from having it but there was a lot of mothers to be who wouldn't take the drugs this resulting in their child being infected. This other results in being apparently HIV positive but not.
I'm not entirely sure about the whole thing but Russia does have a problem. Issue is, the reporting is bullshit cause they don't have any sources to back up their information. Russia being worst in HIV positive cases vs sub sahara is bullshit. Only reason why it may be a lot more is simply cause the child will survive in Russia while it would not in the other regions where healthcare doesn't exist.
And personally, I don't blame Russia's government for being less than willing to help the 2M or so people infected with HIV/AIDS. These people did it to themselves since around 98% of infections are due to drug use.

The rightmost. First column is new cases, followed by total cumulative infected, then total cumulative deaths, and lastly as I've mentioned the current infected.

Siberia. But given the size of the infected population and the progression up until now, it really does look like the all time peak was
in 2016. This means that there will be a decline in the total infected population in a few years when the new cases balance mortality.
It is true that Russia's HIV infection rate is high, but it is false that it is snowballing.

The blue-dot line are annual new cases. The brown line is the total cumulative cases and the grey line is the total deaths.

The new cases has stabilised and not increasing, and according to that chart is probably 8-9 thousand, while numbers dying from the disease is increasing and is over 35,000... that is a net loss of 25 thousand... why is the numbers infected shown to be going up?
With slow growth of new infections and increase in deaths of infected people the number currently infected should be decreasing, not increasing.
... bad chart.
Ahh... the Brown line shows everyone who has ever had HIV in Russia so it will only get bigger and indicates to total number of Russians who have ever had HIV alive or dead. The Yellow line shows those living with HIV, and the Blue line is newly registered as infected, while the gray line is the number who died of HIV.
This makes the Brown line irrelevant to Russia at the moment, the yellow line presumably is estimated because it should move at the same rate of the blue line showing new infections and it clearly does not.
The lethality rate is increasing, which I find suspect because as the lethality rate increases the number of people living with HIV should decrease if new cases are relatively stable, but they don't on this chart.
The brown line is largely meaningless in this case, but it should be increasing at the same rate as the blue line which it does not.
The scale on the graph is very large.
The yellow line is the total number living with HIV and reflects both deaths and new cases.
I think the data for the 1990s is BS.
If the problem with HIV spread is indeed drug addicts sharing needles that can be mitigated with a program where the state sponsors the exchange of discardable needles at no cost in pharmacies. This has been done in several western countries and it seems to curb HIV spread quite decently. The preventative costs are so low it is better than having to pay for the care of these people or the ones they would infect.
