>>18557099Aside from the fact that number is inaccurate on top of being extremely outdated, Russia has mandatory HIV testing specifically because they're trying to eliminate the disease. It's not a situation of Russia having lots of cases of HIV, it's more than they detect it more. Compare this to the US or the rest of Europe that tries to push a narrative of HIV acceptance, rather than prevention. It's a stupid argument overall, the only people that buy into that narrative are people who simply want to screen about Russia bad without doing any research.
