Russia's HIV/AIDS Epidemic Enters New and More Dangerous Phase

Interesting comments, considering that Goble presents public health data gathered from Russia´s own public health authorities. This effort to bring the alarming figures into open discussion reflects the seriousness with which the professionals view the alarming trends. False national pride and fear of embarassment have no doubt contributed to the growing epidemic.

i am surprised. that such an arcticle presenting basically only facts and rising some questions about how reliable they are can create these kind of comments. but i guess surprise is needed in life to be in touch with reality. reality of my own people being narrow minded and unable to think and open themselves to listen to different opinion. thank you for the article and yes it would be good to see how LV looks compared to RU in regard HIV situation. with greetings from Brussels

so what?! I'm pretty sure you understood their point. And that's it. Galu galā nevienam te nav jālasa šie murgojumi angļu mēlē par citu valsti un vēl jāatbild perfektā karalienes valodā. un jā, labs jautājums - is there anything good about Russia pēc PG domām? varētu jau dažādības pēc arī iepostot kādu viedokli. Izskatās, ka viņam nav ko citu darīt, kā tikai drukāt savus 'pētījumus' gaismas ātrumā.

My English is far from ideal and it is worth to improve linguistic skills all the life long. But any brilliant English could not serve as an excuse for bald rudeness. If you cannot understand my message it is a particular problem of your culture. My friends and colleges in different European countries, native speakers including, communicate with me without any trouble.

Kids! Be cool, go to school. Your English is awful...

Patiesībā rēķinot procentos, sanāk līdzīgi kā Igaunijā. Un arī mēs neesam tālu no viņiem :(

Mr Goubls is heavily sick. But for Diena it is kind of perverse hobby - to collect and publish all the dirt about Russians. Shame upon you! Stulbie un augstprātīgie "latviešu intelektuāli".

Mister rusophobe;) Do in Russia are something good?

Who cares!?
