2010年12月28日 联合国艾滋病规划署称，斯里兰卡的实际艾滋病感染人数要远高于官方公布的数字。然而，该国存在的对艾滋病的歧视与污名化成为目前防治艾滋病的首要难题。另外，移民工人和内战停止后产生的大量人员流动导致艾滋病感染率升高的现象也需得到关注。
斯里兰卡的艾滋病毒感染率相对来说较低，但是官方统计大大低于实际感染情况。
联合国艾滋病规划署指出，由于斯里兰卡社会存在着对艾滋病问题的污名化，感染者不愿意披露自己的状况，甚至不愿意检测，因此进行准确统计非常困难。该署估计斯里兰卡的艾滋病毒感染人数至少高于官方数字三倍。
根据斯里兰卡政府2009年12月公布的数据，该国当时有1196个艾滋病毒感染病例，在15到49岁的人群中感染率低于0.1%，即使是在高风险人群中，感染率也低于1%。
此外，艾滋病规划署对斯里兰卡移民工人中艾滋病感染的上升趋势也感到担忧。根据该署今年11月发布的一份报告，斯里兰卡艾滋病毒感染者中超过一半都是移民工人。
艾滋病规划署同时指出，该国自从去年五月停止了延续数十年的内战后，人员来往与旅游业正在呈上升趋势，由此带来的艾滋病毒传播风险必须得到关注。

28 December 2010, UNAIDS said that Sri Lanka's actual number of HIV infections is much higher than official figures. However, the existence of discrimination against HIV and AIDS stigma become the primary problem.

Sri Lanka HIV prevalence is relatively low, but significantly lower than the official statistics, the actual infection.

In addition, UNAIDS migrant workers in Sri Lanka, the rising trend of HIV infection are also worried. According to the department this year, a report released in November, people living with HIV in Sri Lanka, more than half of all migrant workers.
UNAIDS also said the country since May last year to stop the civil war that lasted for decades, people travel and tourism is on the rise, and the resulting risk of HIV transmission must be concerned about.
