Mapping of districts with reported HIV infection in Nepal has been done for the last 10 years (July, 1988–July, 1998). The pattern of geographical distribution of HIV infection over these years is described. Initially, districts of the central region of Nepal were affected and gradually the spread of HIV expanded to the Eastern and Western Part of Nepal. As of end of July 1998, a total of 66 districts out of 75 districts are affected with HIV. The data are compared with the sentinel surveillance and possible explanation for this is given.
