Abstract
Objective. To describe the demographic profile, characteristics of HIV infection, concomitant diseases, and reproductive choice for women living with HIV and receiving standard medical services in the Russian Federation, by taking into account the status of therapy and the presence of pregnancy in a history. Subjects and methods. A multicenter cross-sectional epidemiological non-interventional study was conducted, which enrolled 1,131 HIV- infected women from 10 clinical centers of the Russian Federation. Results. There was a high frequency of infection in women receiving injectable narcotic drugs and a wide range of chronic hepatitis C prevalence. The majority of women had a normal menstrual cycle; moreover, more than one third did not use any contraceptive methods. Among the women who had a history of pregnancy, the latter occurred in one half of them after the diagnosis of HIV infection. Conclusion. The results of th is study may be useful in providing medical care for HIV-positive women in the Russian Federation and in preventing the mother-to-child transmission of HIV.
