Country Profile

As of 2007, DPRK had an estimated population of 24 million, of which 24% are young people aged 10-24 years. UNAIDS 2006 report estimated that fewer than 100 pregnant women are living with HIV & AIDS in the country [1].

There is little or no knowledge on sexual behavioural patterns and the prevalence of other sexually transmitted infection amongst young people in DPRK. However, risk factors for HIV & AIDS exist such as injection drug practices. The low quality of blood transfusion services along with increasing cross border travel between DPRK and China- a country with a high rate of HIV infections among injecting drug users could heighten the risk of exposure to HIV in the country.
