Introduction: HIV-infection is a slowly progressing viral disease of the immune system with a trend to a weakening of the immune defence against infections and tumours. This is one of the most important infectious pathologies with pandemic spread and result in significant social and economic losses. The pace of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Russia is the most rapid in the world.
Materials and Methods: The indexes of morbidity and mortality of the population of Republic of Mordovia in 2015 as a result of HIV-infection are represented in the paper. The age, sex and social distribution of morbidity are determined.
Results: The epidemiological situation of HIV-infection in the Republic of Mordovia tends to deteriorate. A high level of morbidity remains; the total number of deaths and the number of HIV-infected patients increases. There is a high level of infection in the age groups of 21-30 years old and 31-40 years old, that is of people of working age. In spite of this situation, Mordovia has a relatively favorable status of HIV-infection in the Volga Federal District and continues to be among the territories of the Russian Federation with a low prevalence of HIV-infection.
Discussion and Conclusions: The growing number of new cases of infection and increasing morbidity may be an indication of a second “peak” of HIV-infection in Republic of Mordovia.

Keywords: HIV-infection, morbidity, mortality of HIV-infected patients, morbidity structure, epidemic situation of HIV-infection
