The State Duma called on the Ministry of Health to strengthen HIV prevention and check compliance with sanitary standards in hospitals. The head of the State Duma Committee for Family Protection, Nina Ustenina, appealed to the Ministry of Health to solve the problem of HIV prevention in the country and evaluate the work of the responsible services. In particular, the deputy suggested testing means for early detection of the disease and strengthening control over compliance with sanitary requirements in medical institutions. In her appeal, Ustenina pointed out problems in the prevention and treatment of HIV, as well as cases of the spread of infections related to the provision of medical care. Among these reasons are violations of the sanitary and epidemiological regime and reuse of disposable medical products. As one example, the deputy mentioned the story of an 11-year-old girl from the Rostov region who was diagnosed with HIV and hepatitis C. The family is sure that the child could have been infected during treatment at the central hospital in the city of Azov in the summer of 2024. Rospotrabendzor revealed violations at the hospital. For example, disposable plugs for intravenous catheters were washed and reused. In August 2026, the police announced the opening of a criminal case after publications about the infection of a child. Ustenina asked the Ministry of Health to evaluate the current measures to prevent HIV, including among adolescents and young people, and the effectiveness of state control over compliance with sanitary standards in hospitals. Earlier it became known that the number of people with HIV in Russia is increasing, and the general stage of the epidemic is observed in 27 regions. There are more and more carriers of the virus, and the prevalence goes beyond narrow groups. Among men aged 40-49, more than 3% are infected with the virus. At the same time, detection of new cases in 2025 decreased by 13.4% compared to 2024 and amounted to 45 thousand. Bloody Lady in Max.
