The main value of the nation is Health!Aktobe regional center for the prevention and control of AIDS implements all measures to strengthen the health of the nation in accordance with the tasks set by the Head of State Kassym-Jomart Tokayev in his Address to the people of Kazakhstan. The Address noted: "It is necessary to take comprehensive measures to strengthen the health of the nation, modernize the system of social support for the population."
As for the epidemiological situation of HIV infection within the framework of national indicators, the Aktobe region is one of the regions with a low level of prevalence. However, according to the results of 10 months of the current year, in most cases, HIV infection is transmitted sexually. Parenteral transmission using injection drugs was registered in only one case. Preventive work to prevent the transmission of HIV infection sexually and parenterally among key population groups (KGP: people who use injection drugs, sex workers, men who have sex with men) is carried out by the Center on an ongoing basis. Unfortunately, there is a transition of the spread of HIV infection from the KGN environment to the general population, which do not belong to the KGN.
The Aktobe Regional AIDS Center conducts monitoring of HIV infection with full coverage of the entire population. Among them are pregnant women and their spouses. A large-scale examination of persons registered with the drug treatment center, drug users through needles, recipients, convicts and donors with clinical signs is carried out on an ongoing basis. The center's employees, together with medical institutions of the region, carry out organizational and methodological measures to prevent HIV infection.
Having listened collectively to the Message of the Head of State Kassym-Jomart Tokayev to the people of Kazakhstan "Fair Kazakhstan: law and order, economic growth, public optimism", the AIDS center employees worked out work to further reduce the spread of HIV infection.
Head of the Epidemiological Department of the Aktobe Regional AIDS Center Samat Murtazin
