As of the end of 2005, the population officially believed to be living with HIV/AIDS in China was around 650,000, 75,000 AIDS patients included, with an average prevalence of 0.05 percent.

About 70,000 new cases occurred in the same year and about 25,000 people died of the disease across the country.
