Over the past 10 years, AIDS has grown to become one of the major health problems in Korea. This paper reviews the current status of the prevalence of AIDS, AIDS law and policy in Korea. This paper also suggests some proposals for policy to reduce HIV transmission from the view point of personal rights and welfare. Korea needs more effective national AIDS prevention and control programs applicable to the current situations of health policy in Korea. The activities of NGOs would be as important as those of government.
