The average prevalence of HIV on the African continent is 3.38 percent, but in Russia on the eve of the Russia-Africa summit, HIV was detected in more than 3 percent of men aged 40-49 years, Rospotrebnadzor reported in time. Therefore, not only do Russia and Africa share a common approach to geopolitics, but they suffer almost as much. Meanwhile, in countries such as South Africa, Eswatini (formerly Swaziland), Lesotho and Mozambique, HIV prevalence reaches 20% or even exceeds it. Therefore, friendship and cooperation with Africa should be accompanied by the mandatory use of protective equipment and be structured to take into account not only the interests of the state of Russia, but also health indicators.
