This research was carried out within the framework of joint research work between the Siberian Federal District Center for the Prevention and Control of AIDS of the Omsk Research Institute of Natural Focal Infections and the multifunctional medical center for migrants .NISO.. The work involves several stages from the beginning of 2016. A questionnaire method was used to collect primary data and laboratory results of testing for HIV and syphilis were used. During the period under study, there was a tendency to reduce the number of examined and identified foreign citizens in the Omsk region and the low prevalence of HIV infection in this category of citizens. However, the revealed cases of syphilis, irresponsible attitude to the passage of medical examinations, failure to use protective equipment during sexual intercourse, insufficient knowledge or lack of them for the prevention of dangerous infectious diseases, low level of education can contribute to worsening of the epidemic situation both in the region of stay and in the country of exodus.
