Abstract
The prevalence of HIV infection among pregnant women in 7 subjects of the Russian Federation has exceeded 1%, its epidemic in these regions has gone over to its generalized stage, which suggests its poor prognosis, will induce an increase in HIV infection mortality in the years ahead. The Russian regions have shown substantial differences in the prevalence of HIV infection among the infants born to HIV-infected mothers. In 13 subjects of the country, the rate of perinatal HIV transmission has been 1.6-4-fold greater than the average Russian rate (9.6%); of them 6 subjects had high infant morbidity rates during the virtually complete (82-100%) coverage by three-stage chemoprophylaxis (a mother-infant pair). The low efficiency of prevention, the need to reveal reasons for the established situation and to optimize measured aimed at reducing the risk of perinatal HIV transmission.
