The epidemic situation in HIV infection in the northwestern region of this country has been analyzed. The ways of the spread of HIV infection among the infected persons, residents of the St. Petersburg region, Kaliningrad, Novgorod and Murmansk, have been studied. The infection is transmitted mainly through sexual contacts, both homosexual and heterosexual. High migration activity of HIV-infected persons, homo- and heterosexuals, has been established, and a great number of unknown (casual) sexual contacts among them was noted. The results of these observations may be useful in the prognostication of the epidemic situation in HIV infection not only in the northwestern region, but also beyond its boundaries, and later in the optimization of screening.
对该国西北地区艾滋病毒感染的疫情进行了分析。研究了艾滋病毒感染在圣彼得堡地区、加里宁格勒、诺夫哥罗德和摩尔曼斯克的感染者及居民中的传播途径。感染主要通过同性和异性性接触传播。已确定艾滋病毒感染者（包括同性恋者和异性恋者）的迁移活动频繁，并注意到他们之间存在大量不明（偶然）性接触。这些观察结果不仅对预测西北地区艾滋病毒感染的疫情有用，对该地区以外的情况也有用，而且对优化筛查也有帮助。
