      The event will remind the residents of Nizhny Novgorod about the importance of HIV testing and infection prevention. The "Nizhny Novgorod" stadium will be illuminated in red in memory of those who died from AIDS. The event was announced by the chief editor of MIA "Statsionar-Press," Alexey Nikonov, in his max-channel. According to him, the red lighting will symbolize support, hope, and unity in the fight against the spread of HIV infection. As specialists note, timely diagnosis remains one of the main ways to prevent the disease. The event is also intended to remind residents of the need for regular testing. According to the World Health Organization, more than half a million people have died from HIV/AIDS worldwide. By 2030, medical professionals hope to achieve the cessation of AIDS as a global health threat. In the Nizhny Novgorod region, over 37,000 cases of HIV infection have been registered since the 1990s. In 2025, the region recorded 935 new cases of infection. Since the beginning of 2026, the diagnosis has been confirmed in 153 residents of the region. Most of the infected are men, and the average age of patients is 42 years. The prevalence of HIV infection in the Nizhny Novgorod region is estimated at 0.7%. Medical professionals emphasize that modern antiretroviral therapy allows people with HIV to lead full lives and start families. Thus, since the beginning of 2026, 45 women with a positive HIV status have become mothers in the Nizhny Novgorod region. News agency "NEWSROOM24" in VK Photo: Wikipedia
