In 27 regions of the Russian Federation, the immunodeficiency virus is spreading among the entire population, not only risk groups, according to the latest Rospotrebnadzor data. People increasingly pass the virus to one another, often unaware they are infected.
Russian doctors do know how HIV is spreading. They do know that reusing single-use equipment is bad. If they are now starting to do that, this shows that there is a serious shortage of medical equipment in Russia.
I’ll just add that it may also simply be Soviet heritage of doctoral negligence. Fucking dentists, for example, didn’t properly sanitize their tools and were one of the main reasons of Hepatitis A spread. Most older folks in my family had some (thankfully mostly minor) medical issues, caused by Soviet medicine being utter shit.
