| [primary serological screening of the infection caused by the lav/htlv-iii/hiv virus in moscow]. | the screening covering 5,155 residents of moscow and 6,412 foreign students revealed the presence of antibodies to the virus, causing immunodeficiency in man, in 20 students from african countries. the antibodies were detected by means of the immune blotting assay. the problem of the possibility of the heterosexual transfer of the virus is discussed. | 1987 | 2445129 |

| [an anonymous survey of the population for antibodies to the virus causing aids]. | the anonymous survey of the population for the presence of human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) carried out in moscow in 1987 revealed 4 seropositive persons among 10, 117 persons subjected to examination. these 4 persons belonged to typical risk groups with respect to the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (aids). the questioning of the persons coming for examination made it possible to find out that a large percentage of them really had a risk of contacting hiv infection; besides, a considerable ... | 1989 | 2741605 |

| [a genetic analysis of variants of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (hiv-1) circulating among drug abusers in moscow and moscow province]. | the genetic analysis of the variants of human immunodeficiency virus of type 1 (hiv-1), circulating among drug addicts in moscow and moscow province, has been carried out. the serological analysis of 122 blood specimens taken from hiv-infected drug addicts, residing in moscow and 22 settlements of the moscow region, has shown that in this region hiv-1 variant of subtype a spreads among drug addicts. these data have been confirmed by the results of the analysis of 44 specimens, made with the use ... | 2000 | 10994095 |
| an hiv type 1 subtype a strain of low genetic diversity continues to spread among injecting drug users in russia: study of the new local outbreaks in moscow and irkutsk. | an explosive epidemic of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (hiv-1) has been documented among injecting drug users (idus) in the former soviet union republics. in 1999, the two largest local idu outbreaks of hiv-1 infection in the russian federation were registered in the moscow and irkutsk regions, where 13,004 hiv-1 cases were identified (44% of the total number of hiv-1 infections in russia in 1999). to study the prevailing genetic variants and to estimate the genetic diversity of hiv-1 in t ... | 2001 | 11177409 |
| rapid increase in hiv rates--orel oblast, russian federation, 1999-2001. | during 1999-2001, the estimated number of cases of human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) reported officially in the russian federation increased approximately 16-fold, from 11,000 to 177,000. in 2001, of 49,434 hiv-infected persons for whom a risk factor was identified, 46,274 (94%) were injection-drug users (idus). however, the actual number of hiv-infected persons in russia is estimated to be four to 10 times higher than reported. rapid increases in hiv have been reported in urban areas (e.g., ka ... | 2003 | 12869903 |
| prevalence of alleles associated with hiv resistance in russia. | genetic polymorphisms of ccr5, ccr2, and sdf1 genes have been associated with resistance during human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (hiv-1) infection and disease progression. in the present report, we studied the frequency and co-occurrence of ccr5delta32, ccr5-59029a/g, ccr2-64i, and sdf1-3'a allelic variants among hiv-1-seronegative individuals (n = 171) in moscow. observed allelic frequencies were 0.0906 [95% confidence interval (ci), 0.06-0.1212] for ccr5delta32, 0.4072 (95% ci, 0.3542-0.460 ... | 2004 | 15140377 |
