Rainbow NewsGays in Russia Become Again a "Significant Problem" For HIV/AIDS Prevention
8 Feb. 2013
The curtailment of international programs, introduction of homophobic legislation and mass-media campaigns on marginalization of LGBT community have driven Russia ten years back in the area of HIV/AIDS prevention among gays and men that practice sex with other men (MSM).
Gay men have again became "a significant problem" for HIV prevention, believes Nikolay Panchenko, the Chairperson of the interregional public organization "A positive dialogue". "They are living in already closed group and the recent approval of homophobic legislation across Russia has made them even more isolated. They (gays) hid their orientation and lie low", said Panchenko in his interview for "MK". Because of this medical personnel is unable to hold epidemic investigation, to detect and check their partners. It is very difficult to maintain a contact with them...".
For reference: Various campaigns on HIV/AIDS prevention among gays were being held in Russia during late 90's - early 2000's. But few years ago Russia absolutely refused to cooperate with the global funds that are in charge of HIV/AIDS prevention. As a result many public projects in this sphere were closed or curtailed.
