Abstract:
The importance of information and behavioral changes in preventing HIV infection in three different groups of people is shown. The content of one of such strategies, the Prochaska-DiClemente model of behavior changing, which proved to be good in popular programs realized in many countries, including Russia, is demonstrated. In this model the change of behavior is presented as a process consisting of 5 stages of making definite decisions. The realization of the program has started by such organizations as "Médecins sans Frontières" (Holland) and "SPID-infosvyaz" (Russia) in the prevention of HIV infection, sexually transmitted diseases (including hepatitides) and drug dependence in 6 regions of Russia. The prospect lying before these activities is the creation in Russia of a network of organizations working in the above-mentioned field.
