Results of medico-sociological studying of specifics of social installations of the population concerning HIV-infected citizens are presented in article. The conducted research shows that now the deficiency of objective information on a problem of HIV-infection/AIDS is observed, and negative installations of russians concerning HIV-infected persons still remain widespread social practice. Authors note that despite efforts of the state, medical and public organizations on increase in level of tolerance of the population concerning HIV-infection/AIDS, the fact of establishment of the diagnosis «HIV-infection», besides problems of medical character, causes change of the social status HIV-infected and also attracts extensive social and reputation losses – that, in general, distances the HIV-infection carrier from other population and intensifies social inequality.
