The HIV epidemic is rising faster in the Russian Federation than anywhere else in the world. New reported diagnoses have almost doubled annually since 1998. In 2001, more than 40,000 new HIV-positive diagnoses were reported in the first six months. The total number of HIV infections reported since the epidemic began came to more than 129,000 in June 2001 - up from 10,993 reported for the end of 1998, and only 523 in 1991. It is believed that the actual number of people now living with HIV in the Russian Federation is many times higher than these reported figures.
