The AIDS Center reported how many people were diagnosed with HIV through "street" testing.

      Since the beginning of this year, more than 5,000 residents of Sverdlovsk Oblast have learned their HIV status thanks to a rapid test, the regional AIDS Center said. The human immunodeficiency virus was detected in the blood of exactly 1% of those tested who had not suspected they were infected.

      For 50 people the infection was detected for the first time precisely thanks to the rapid test, the AIDS Center reported.

      All those identified were referred to the AIDS Center where, after a confirmatory laboratory analysis, they were registered and began treatment. "This means they preserved their own health and protected their partners," the Center's specialists say.

      As part of the national project "Long and Active Life", at least 35% of the region's population undergo laboratory screening for HIV annually at medical institutions.
