A 33-year-old resident of Elizov wrote a statement to the police that from October 2023 to December 2024 he had an intimate relationship with a 25-year-old girl. The latter indulged in carnal love, although she knew that she was infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

When in March 2022, doctors told a woman from Elizov in a medical institution that she was terminally ill, they also warned about the criminal liability provided for by Article 122 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation – in case of infection of another person. Despite this, the girl repeatedly had sexual intercourse with her partner and infected him with HIV infection.
