abstract: SUMMARY Model of organization of HIV counseling and testing services by family physicians, provided to the inhabitants of transcarpathia region, related to labor migration. The purpose of the research is the development, implementation and determination of the viability of the model of organization of HIV counseling and testing services by family physicians, provided to the representatives of a certain section of society, namely to labor migrants and their immediate environment in the Transcarpathia region of Ukraine.
  
  
  METHODS
  While developing this model the methods of structural and logical analysis, a systematic approach, bibliosemantic and conceptual simulation were used. Estimation of the model functionality was carried out on the basis of the family physicians' monthly reports analysis, which provided HIV counseling and testing services in pilot mode, using rapid tests for the detection of antibodies to HIV, according to the proposed model. RESULTS OF THE RESEARCH AND ITS DISCUSSION: The purpose of the model is to draw the HIV counseling and testing to target group of population as close as possible, so the method of retroaction to HIV and AIDS in the region would me more complex and effective. The model contains the necessary building blocks that perform certain functions. The necessary direction of a patient and information flow between its building blocks is determined in order to ensure the performance of specified functions by them. Within the period of pilot testing of the model (October 2013 to February 2014) on the basis of outpatient clinics of general practice in the Transcarpathia region HIV counseling and testing were provided to 303 representatives of the target population. The most services were provided during religious holydays (it is the period when labor migrants return to the places of their permanent residence).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Analysis of the results of the pilot testing of the developed model has shown its viability and assurance of its drawing to the target group within the period of labor migrants return to their permanent places of residence.
