Russia has 1 million HIV+ people, but only 1/3rd get treatment (video)

Russia, part of the developed world, now has an HIV infection rate increasing at 10% a year. Not only does this go against the trend of now falling infection rates in the world's developed countries, but it's an infection rate increase higher than in the hardest hit parts of Africa.

Shockingly, only one third of those with HIV are getting treatment.

Much of this has to do with stigma, the great enemy of effective HIV treatment. As well as the Russian Orthodox Church who are against control measures that have been proven to work in other countries. The church is against the use of condoms FFS, needle exchanges to avoid sharing of needles, and sex education.

Why am I not surprised that once again, the church stands in the way of logic....
