In the last ten years reached ten percent. Federal russian press states that more than 100 000 people, who live in Russia, foreigners from Near East in the main part, suffer from the lack of drugs. Consequently about 20 percent keep on dying each year from AIDS because of that lack of drugs, other STI ot they commit suicide.

6 regions are in the most dangerous situations - Moscow, St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg, Moscow oblast, Krasnoyarsk kray, and the Khanty-Mansiisk Autonomous District.
