Западная Сибирь является одним из основных регионов с большим количеством ВИЧ-инфицированных лиц. Участковые терапевты-ключевое звено, которое осуществляет первый контакт с ВИЧ-инфицированными. Однако пока не ясно, насколько врачи общей практики готовы к работе с ВИЧ-инфицированными лицами. В свою очередь, эффективное взаимодействие врача с пациентом может оказаться решающим в формировании позитивного отношения пациента к лечению и в значительной степени повлиять на эффективность будущих лечебных мероприятий. Исследование, результаты которого представлены в статье, было проведено в 2017 г. путем анонимного анкетирования. В исследовании приняло участие 334 студента 4-го курса лечебного и педиатрического факультетов Новосибирского государственного медицинского университета. Для опроса была использована адаптированная анкета, созданная на основе типового опросника ЮНЭЙДС (UNAIDS-Joint United Programme on HIV/AIDS). Обнаружено, что студенты-медики не осуждают ВИЧ-инфицированных людей. Они не считают, что люди с положительным ВИЧ-статусом обязательно ведут себя безнравственно и поэтому заслуживают это заболевание. Они готовы помогать этим пациентам, хотя сами при этом испытывают страх заражения во время лечебных манипуляций. Установлено незнание ряда правовых вопросов, касающихся ВИЧ-инфицированных пациентов.

Western Siberia is one of the main regions with a large number of HIV-infected individuals. District therapists are the main link that makes the first contact with HIV infected people. However, it is not yet clear how general practitioners agree with the communication with HIV infected people. In turn, effective communication between the doctor and the patient can be crucial in the formation of a positive attitude of the patient to treatment and significantly affect the effectiveness of future treatment activities. The study was conducted in 2017 by anonymous questionnaires. The study involved 334 medical students of the 4th year of the therapeutic and pediatric faculties of the NSMU. For the survey, an adapted questionnaire was developed, based on the UNAIDS model questionnaire. It was found that medical students do not condemn HIV infected people. They do not believe that people with a positive HIV status necessarily behave immorally and therefore deserve this disease. They are ready to help these patients, although they themselves feel the fear of infection during medical manipulations. A lack of knowledge of a number of legal issues concerning HIV infected patients has been established.

The study was conducted during the 2017–2018 period using the method of anonymous questionnaire. In total, 838 4-year-students from medical, pediatric, dental and medical-prophylactic departments participated in the study. Two questionnaires were used for the survey: an adapted version of the standard UNAIDS questionnaire and that based on V. V. Boyko’s methodology of diagnosing communicative tolerance. It is found that medical students do not condemn HIV-infected people, nor believe that people with a positive HIV status necessarily behave immorally, thus deserving this disease. Medical students show a high level of professional communicative tolerance and readiness to help these patients, although being afraid of getting the infection during medical manipulations. At the same time, a low level of awareness concerning a number of legal issues regarding HIV-infected patients has been established.
