<I>Objective</I>: To estimate the epidemiologic features of HIV infection/AIDS in Japan using the Delphi method.<BR><I>Materials and Methods</I>: The subjects were what we cannot obtain through usual epidemiologic surveys, such as the coverage rate of all the HIV-infected persons in the surveillance system, the reason why infected persons did not take the antibody screening test, and the future epidemiologic trends of the disease. Among clinical and epidemiologic researchers who were interested in HIV/AIDS, 60 were asked to participate in the study and 45 cooperated.<BR><I>Results</I>: The coverage rate of the surveillance system was estimated to be 10-20%. About the reason why infected persons were not reported to the surveillance system, more than half of the respondents thought that many of them did not take the screening tests because they did not consider the possibility of their infection. Out of the 45 respondents, 25 thought that the increasing trend in the number of HIV-positive people reported would be plateau by the year of 2010, whereas 19 thought the number would continue to increase at least until 2010 in Japan. Many respondents answered that heterosexual transmission among Japanese males and females would continue to increase. About the possibility of effective vaccination and treatment in the near future, 24 answered 'yes' to the possibility of vaccination and 13 to that of effective treatment ; the estimated time of realization being 2010 in both cases. After the introduction of triple therapy, the period of time from HIV infection through AIDS death was estimated to be prolonged for 5 years.<BR><I>Conclusion</I>: Authorities' viewpoints about HIV/AIDS epidemiology have been revealed.
