Popis: The system of the epidemiological surveillance of HIV infection, existing now in Russia and aimed at the detection of sources of the infective agent, is not adapted for territories with a low level of HIV infection among the population. This makes it impossible to evaluate the factors which may contribute to the epidemic spread of the infective agent. A new program of epidemiological surveillance is proposed. This program is based on the complex approach to monitoring infections having epidemiological signs, common with HIV infection; on the organization of serological monitoring for the detection of HIV-seropositive persons on the basis of blind tests and orientation on monitoring the social factors which determine the spread of HIV infection.
