This paper takes a first step towards a better understanding of the contribution of each provincial epidemic to the national epidemic, and about how this contribution might evolve over time, by presenting a set of estimates and projections of HIV/AIDS from 2000 to 2020 in Yunnan province, based on available serological data and on the 2000 census data for China.
