Summary:	Relevance. HIV-infection continues to be one of the unsolved issues of modern healthcare. In the Russian Federation, an annual increase in the number HIV-infected people including co-infected with HIV and viral hepatitis is registered. This is associated with common transmission mechanisms of the diseases. Objective: to conduct a retrospective analysis of the main HIV-infection epidemiological indices that included prevalence of viral hepatitis B and C among people living with HIV in the Far Eastern Federal district during years 2006–2018. Materials and methods: the conducted retrospective epidemiological analysis was based on evaluation of materials provided by AIDS prevention and control regional centers as well as in the official statistical data form № 61 «Data on HIVinfected contingents». Analysis of the obtained data included parametric and nonparametric statistics. Results. A deterioration of the epidemic situation concerning HIV-infection with and without viral hepatitis B and C was registered in the Far Eastern Federal district. The fraction of HIV-positive people aged 40 years and older increased up to 24.68 ± 0.26% in 2018. Feminization of HIV-infected population was observed. The fraction of HIV-positive women increased from 32.30 ± 0.50 % in 2006 to 36.82 ± 0.29% in 2018. The fraction of sexual transmission mechanism of the HIV has increased during the observed period of time and totaled 40.60 ± 0.30% in 2018.
