The epidemiological features and social factors of HIV-infection were studied. The clinical picture of disease was estimated. The laboratory researches included detection of contents CD4-lymphocytes and blood lipid structure. The patients with HIV-infection in the 3rd stage were divided into 2 groups according to duration of a course of the stage. The number of females involved in a HIV-infection as a result of the sharp increase of heterosexual way of transmittion was enlarged considerably. Pronounced changes of lipid metabolism in patients with HIV-infection in a 3rd stage were observed. As lisophospholipids indices in HIV patients with duration of the 3rd stage more than 5 years were several times lower, than in the HIV patients with the smaller experience, it is possible to use these parameters for prognosing the course of the disease.
