7 Government Strategy on HIV-infection Control in Russian Federation 22 and Long-term (approved by Government of the Russian Federation Resolution dated р). Action Plan for Implementation of Government Strategy on HIV-infection Control in Russian Federation 22 and Long-term. Strategy reflects a narrow departmental orientation of the AIDS centers on primary and secondary prevention and detection activities and partially on epidemiological monitoring. Actions for improvement of treatment outcomes and the prevention of medico-social consequences of HIV patients for public health (including on TB prevalence), quality and length of life of HIV-positive people, decline in HIV mortality on programmatic basis are not considered. Remarkable, that the strategy s effectiveness indicators do not include HIV mortality rate and other HIV health care effectiveness indicators. Apparently it is assumed that other services are in charge of this matter, but it is not clearly stipulated which agency is monitoring, coordinating and being accountable for the process. Nevertheless, the strategy has an aim to decrease <HIV prevalence> by improving medical and social technologies of primary and secondary prevention and detection, which in fact limit the scope of responsibility of HIV service to only these directions of health care.

8 Government Strategy on HIV-infection Control in Russian Federation 22 and Long-term (approved by Government of the Russian Federation Resolution dated р). Action Plan for Implementation of Government Strategy on HIV-infection Control in Russian Federation 22 and Long-term. Although the term «treatment of HIV infection» is frequently used in the documents, it is clear contextually that the antiretroviral therapy is meant, not the treatment of secondary or associated infections, concerning which «it is provided to develop interaction and continuity in work of the organizations providing care to infectious patients (tuberculosis, hepatitis B and C) and drug addiction disorders». Regarding the Government Resolution provision «improvement of methods of prevention, diagnosis and treatment of HIV-infection combined with TB, hepatitis B and C» is only assumed «an increase in ART coverage». Therefore, improvement of regulations, organization and clinical technologies of health care provided to these patients, still largely remain the responsibility of TB service TB out of all listed conditions represents the highest epidemiological hazards and the most severe clinical condition.
