HIV Incidence in Russia Dropped by 13.4%
Published
Rospotrebnadzor reported how the incidence of HIV infection in Russia changed in 2025. According to the agency, the indicator fell by 13.4% compared with 2024.
In 2025, 31 new cases of HIV infection were recorded per 100,000 population. Specialists measure incidence in this way: they count not the total number of patients, but the number of new cases per a certain number of residents. This approach helps to compare data from different years and regions.
A decline in incidence means that fewer new cases were identified over the year than in the previous year. HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) gradually weakens the immune system, so early detection of the infection is important: it allows treatment to begin sooner.
Data on HIV incidence are published regularly and help monitor the situation in the country from year to year.
