Journal Article
Russia’s HIV rate continues to rise with reactionary policies
2016
Overview
For the Kremlin, harm reduction is off the table. A recent report from a Kremlin-backed research institute recommended a \"categorical refusal of \"harm reduction\" programs,\" arguing that harm reduction is inconsistent with the \"Russian model\" of fighting HIV. The report went so far as to blame condom use for Russia's HIV epidemic; one of its coauthors claimed that promoting condom use encourages people to have sex, and argued that the best form of protection against HIV was to \"be in a heterosexual family where both partners are loyal to each other.\" For Dr. Vadim Pokrovsky, the head of Russia's federal AIDS centre, the Kremlin's focus on the idea of \"risk elimination\" instead of harm reduction is a recipe for failure. \"By 'risk elimination' they mean a complete rejection of extramarital sex and drugs. But the experts who understand this know that people just can't give up extramarital sex, and that people dependent on drugs just can't stop using them.\"
