Based on the statistics released by the National Centre for Communicable Diseases, there have been a total of 229 cases of HIV/AIDS since the first HIV case was reported in Mongolia 25 years ago. Of this figure, 23.1% are aged 25 to 29, while one case was aged only 15 years. A total of 18 teens have been infected HIV/AIDS since 1992. All cases of HIV/AIDS in Mongolia are sexually transmitted; 37 individuals have already passed away.

The consistent upward trend both in the number of deaths and the number of new cases is alarming indeed. Thus, the Department of Health is continuously educating the public regarding HIV/AIDS and what they can do to stop the spread of infection.
