The number of HIV infected Russians may grow by 70,000 by the end of this year, head of the Federal HIV/AIDS Prevention and Treatment Center Vadim Pokrovsky said.
"The number of new HIV infections and the mortality rates are growing here. As of October 1, 2013, this country had 780,000 HIV-infected people. Some 51,000 new HIV infections were recorded in the first eight months of 2013. We are expecting more than 70,000 new HIV infections before the end of this year, which is practically 200 new HIV infections per day," Pokrovsky told a press conference on Thursday ahead of the World AIDS Day.
