Monitoring Selected National HIV Prevention and Care Objectives by Using HIV Surveillance Data: United States and 6 U.S. Dependent Areas: 2010. Part A.

摘要

In July 2010, the White House released the National HIV/AIDS Strategy for the United States (NHAS), which outlined 3 goals for a coordinated national response to HIV in the United States. These goals are (1) reduce the number of people who become infected with HIV, (2) increase access to care and improve health outcomes for people living with HIV, and (3) reduce HIV-related health disparities. In response, the Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention (DHAP) of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) developed a strategic plan that aligns with NHAS and defines 15 objectives for measuring progress in reducing the burden of HIV in the United States. CDC collects data to monitor progress toward achieving these objectives by using a variety of systems, which include the National HIV Surveillance System, the Medical Monitoring Project, the National HIV Behavioral Surveillance System, and the national HIV prevention program monitoring and evaluation data set. This report illustrates how data from the National HIV Surveillance System can be used to assess progress on selected key objectives. Some data essential for monitoring progress toward achieving these objectives have been, and will be, reported in other publications.
