Plain Language Summary: This paper examines available evidence on the number of people with HIV in Russia who require treatment (over 20,000 and a figure that will rapidly increase in the near future) and compares that to the estimated number of those receiving treatment (no more than 2000). The paper examines the various barriers to treatment in Russia, including cost, lack of political will, stigma, and a poorly developed capacity to treat. The paper then considers the various opportunities that may be available to Russia to increase access to treatment, including increased capacity to negotiate price reductions, efforts to increase domestic production or import generics, and efforts to build the political will to address Russia's treatment needs.
