“I support this idea. It may concern not only HIV, but also other diseases that today are trying to cure in various ways, including advice from the Internet. HIV is a deadly disease for a person, and the use of modern drugs significantly prolongs life and improves its quality. It’s difficult to argue with this and the actions of the Ministry of Health are certainly correct, ”he said.

Chicken also noted that there are now a large number of people who deny HIV or are trying to prove that this is a kind of invention of doctors.

“This is a completely unscientific stupidity that cannot be encouraged and promoted,” said the deputy.

Earlier, the Ministry of Health of Russia has prepared a bill banning the dissemination of information calling for refusal of HIV testing and treatment.
