stage, period of start and coverage by antiretroviral
therapy were studied based on approved statistical
forms and additional collected data, the leading

with population of HIV-infected in penitentiary
system institutions was performed. All-cause

growth in HIV-infected population in VFD in 2005
- 2010, at the same time HIV-infection mortality
has a certain tendency of stabilization after 2007
with subsequent decline in 2010, that apparently
