With the transition of medical model and the development of epidemiology,the application of epidemiological methods in AIDS prevention and control were more widely,and had penetrated into all areas of AIDS research. Epidemiological methods not only could be used to determine the major issues of AIDS prevention and control,and to clarify its causes and risk factors,but also could use to estimate the HIV epidemic,to take prevention interventions and evaluate the effect of the interventions and so on.
