A mobile laboratory came from Orenburg to Orsk, where anyone could pass an anonymous express test for HIV infection. By the way, the annual action was timed to the day of the fight against AIDS, which is celebrated on December 1. There was a bus on Komsomolskaya Square with all the necessary equipment inside. Anyone who wanted to get checked went into the salon, named their age and received a serial number, which was indicated on the calendar (by the way, it remains as a gift), and then the doctor took saliva from the patient with a sterile tip of a special device. The result is ready in 20 minutes.
The aim of the action is, first of all, to inform citizens about the problem of HIV / AIDS. There are a lot of misunderstandings and myths around this disease.

There are many HIV-infected in Russia, but this does not mean that these people need to be “put an end to”. They also work, occupy high positions and give the country material and spiritual wealth, but anything happens in life … If they are treated, they will live to the very old age, and they do not die of AIDS or HIV.

Do you mean if you find out about a sore in time and immediately start treating it?
Sergey Radtsev, doctor-methodologist of the infectious diseases hospital in the city of Orenburg
You said correctly. If there are any doubts, then you need to immediately go and get tested. You can anonymously. The sooner you start treatment, the better.
As Sergei Aleksandrovich said, most often people become infected through unprotected sex. In second place is drug addiction, in third is transmission to the child from the mother.
