Russia needs a Federal program
for HIV prevention, says expert
The subject of prevention of HIV infection
in Russia has no comprehensive
approach, we need to develop a Federal
program, approved by the Ministry of
health and Ministry of education and
science, says obstetrician-gynecologist,
an international expert on
reproductive health in Russia Boris
Lordkipanidze.
Previously, the newspaper
«Kommersant» reported that the Ministry
of education scandal for an online lesson
on protection from HIV infection for
students. Performers of the Internet
project refused to comply with the
requirements of the Department
negotiate in advance the answers to the
questions and recommendations «to talk
about morality in order to escape the
slippery» and avoid words like «condom».
Online lesson must go on 1 December.
«The problem is that we
are all the time trying
some snatches to convey
information to Day of
fight against AIDS, family
Day, and in General, we
do not have a comprehensive approach,
which, in fact, requires this topic. I’ve
always been a supporter of the fact that
should meet the experts: psychologists,
teachers, doctors, needs conceptual

approach to this question and create a
program. And this program must be
approved by the Ministry of health, and
the Ministry of education and science,»
said Lordkipanidze.
According to him, only when it is the final
understanding of how the plan should
look like, you can move on to the next
stage — the presentation of the finished
material, agreed upon and duly executed
by both the medical and moral point of
view. «This is called the creation of a
Federal program on preservation of
reproductive health, for example,» — said
the expert.
He also reminded that in 90-ies there was
already such a project, but it has not
caught on in Russia, as it was a lot of
controversy and it is not tied to the
Russian mentality. According to him, the
Western version is indeed not suitable for
implementation in Russia, so you must
create your.
«If to speak about a specific situation,
about the conflict that erupted, I can say
only one thing: of course, when the
contract is concluded, the employer is
entitled to require from the contractor
agreeing on all points, in particular, in
particular, and in advance to provide all
the materials, which they then in online

translation are going to present. It is from

one point of view, and the second — I can
say humanly that is very difficult to
discuss HIV without touching such words
as «condom,» concluded Mr.
Lordkipanidze.

Earlier, the Minister of

education and science
Olga Vasilyeva has
opposed the introduction
in Russian schools sex ed
classes. According to the
Minister, every parent must decide when
and what to talk with your child about
what’s going on in my life. With this
Foundation, noted that when she was in
school, the program in biology in the 10th
grade, all these questions were submitted
«in a very subtle form.»
