| | | Regional Overview | | Abstracted from the 2008 Report on the Global AIDS Epidemic, UNAIDS, August 2008. | | Epidemiology and Trends | | The estimated number of people living with HIV in Eastern Europe and Central Asia rose to 1.5 million in 2007; almost 90% of those infected live in either the Russian Federation (69%) or Ukraine (29%). It is estimated that 110,000 people in this region became infected with HIV in 2007, while some 58,000 died of AIDS. The HIV epidemic in the Russian Federation (already the largest in this region) continues to grow, although apparently at a slower pace than in Ukraine, where annual
new HIV diagnoses have more than doubled since 2001. The annual numbers of newly reported HIV diagnoses are also rising in Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, the Republic of Moldova, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan (which now has the largest epidemic in Central Asia). Each HIV epidemic in this region is typically concentrated in populations of injection-drug users, sex workers, and their sexual partners. |
