Russia has seen one of the world’s fastest-growing HIV epidemics. Transmission risk behavior, HAART-taking, and psychosocial distress of the growing population of Russian people living with HIV (PLH) in the HAART era are understudied. Participants of a systematically-recruited cross-sectional sample of 492 PLH in St. Petersburg completed measures of sexual and drug injection practices, adherence, perceived discrimination, and psychosocial distress. Since learning of their status, 59% of participants had partners of HIV-negative or unknown serostatus (mean=5.9). 52% reported unprotected intercourse with such partners, with 29% of acts unprotected. Greater perceived discrimination predicted lower condom use. 23% of IDU PLH still shared needles, predicted by having no primary partner, lower education, and more frequently-encountered discrimination. 25% of PLH had been refused general health care, 11% refused employment, 6% fired, and 6% forced from family homes. 39% of participants had probable clinical depression, 37% had anxiety levels comparable to psychiatric inpatients, and social support was low. 54% of PLH were on HAART, 16% of PLH refused HAART regimens, and 5% took less than 90% of their doses. Comprehensive community services for Russian PLH are needed to reduce AIDS-related psychosocial distress and continued HIV transmission risk behaviors. Social programs should reduce stigma and discrimination, and promote social integration of affected persons and their families.
