>>214891225 (OP) >In January-November 2022, another 3,561 cases of HIV infection were registered in Kazakhstan[26]. In addition, the total number of carriers was increased by HIV-positive Russians who emigrated to Kazakhstan after the invasion of Ukraine and the announcement of mobilization. These people faced problems, since HIV-managment therapy cannot be purchased in Kazakhstani pharmacies, and AIDS centers issued drugs only to those with a residence permit or citizenship. Non-profit organizations tried to help those who arrived, using their own limited supplies of medicines. However, in general, the situation caused concern among activists, as it could lead to mutations of the virus, which had previously been encountered in Kazakhstan[27][18].
