The present study deals with the analysis of the epidemic process among the population of the Republic of Mari El (RME) with a disease caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV infection) with an assessment of the structure of the incidence by sex, age, social status and transmission routes. The medical and social parameters of HIV infection are given for the period from 2007 to 2016. The medical documentation (epidemiological chart form No. 357/U) of the patients of the state budgetary institution of the Republic of Mari El “Republican Center for the Prevention and Control of AIDS and Infectious Diseases” (Center for AIDS of RME) using clinical, analytical and statistical epidemiology methods was studied in this paper. As a result of the work performed, it was established that the epidemic process of HIV infection prevails among men, in a cohort of 31-40 years. In most cases, the transmission route is heterosexual; the infection is more common among the urban population.
