Abstract

This article is considered to be the first attempt to examine the problem of HIV/AIDS spreading in detailed. The status, structure, dynamics and “geography” of the infection spreading as well as psychological mechanism of the relations between AIDS spreading in antisocial, immoral behaviour and crime are investigated in the article. The spread of AIDS in Ukraine is to some extent explained by the following points: AIDS are more urban than rural; the spread of AIDS is closely related to the life of resort towns, which characterises the development of a “leisure industry” and increases the influx of the immoral contingent. There are a lot of people in these regions who are not engaged in socially useful activities and who easily come in contact with visitors for the purpose of enrichment by their expense.
