Когда в России был зафиксирован первый случай ВИЧ-инфекции?
The first officially documented case of HIV in Russia (then the Soviet Union) was diagnosed in March 1987. In 1984, one patient had been diagnosed with HIV by a Soviet doctor, but the record of her case was expunged. Prior to the diagnosis made in 1987, the Soviet Union denied that any HIV infections were occurring within its territory. Doctors were pressured to misdiagnose cases of HIV and AIDS as other ailments, and the government failed to take any steps to protect or warn the public about the nature of the disease and how to prevent its spread.
