Introduction.This study focuses on the problem of early disability of patients with HIV-infection and treatment adherence and dispensary observation. Material and methods. The clinical and anamnestic analysis of 1136 out-patient records and medical records of patients registered at Saint-Petersburg State Budgetary Institution of Healthcare “Center for Prevention and Control of AIDS and Infectious Diseases” and directed at medical and social examination was carried out. In addition, using the test methods we investigated the psychosocial characteristics of 76 patients who applied to the psychologist before the beginning of antiretroviral therapy, and assessed the treatment adherence a year after the start of treatment.Results.The results of the study indicated the increase in the proportion of patients at advanced stages of the disease, increased detection of HIV in older age groups. Late diagnosis of the disease is the cause of temporary disability and early disability of patients with HIV infection. The dynamics of the number of disabled persons due to HIV infection increasing. Men need more time to decide on dispensary care than women. The majority of patients with are men of working age, identified or sought medical care at the late stages of the disease. Women are more attentive to their health and have more complex treatment adherence than men. The interrelations of psychological and somatic characteristics with the level of adherence to medical recommendations were found.

ABSTRACTIntroduction: The Regulation of the Ministry of Defense No. 106 of 2016 regulates the process of whether a disabled soldier should retire or continue their career. Some soldiers can continue after undergoing a rehabilitation program and fitness test called Uji Kesamaptaan. Unfortunately, the current scoring system in Uji Kesamaptaan only fits for normal soldiers. The purpose of this study was to describe the profile of normal and disabled soldiers who underwent physical fitness tests. The equality value “Kesamaptaan table” with the running test can be used to assess the ability for disabilities by using a wheelchair test?Methods: This preliminary study used a cross-sectional method and involved 46 soldiers who were divided into two groups, disabled (n=16) and normal (n=30). All participants underwent a 12-minuterun or wheel test in a 400-meter track, to record the distance covered according to their ability. VO2Max assessed using the Cardio-Pulmonary Exercise Test (CPET). Results were analyze using SPSS program;Independent T-test.Results: No significant difference was observed in the characteristics (age, body weight, height, and mass index) between the two groups. The VO2Max difference between normal soldiers and disabled soldiers was highly significant. The highest score among disabled and normal soldiers was 38 L/min/kg BW and 64 L/min/kg BW, respectively. Normal soldiers covered 465m farther in a 12-minute run test.Conclusion: Kesamaptaan, the current scoring system for soldiers, can be considered unfair for the disabled soldiers. The scoring system only includes for 12-minutes running test. Differences in the involvement of muscles and muscle type, affecting energy use and oxygen consumption between the 12-minute run test and wheelchair pedal test. Therefore, value conversion is required for disabled soldiers.Keywords: disabled persons, exercise test, physical fitness, VO2Max
