HIV Counseling and Testing at CDC-Funded Sites, United States, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, 2006-2007

摘要

This report provides a summary of HIV CT data and is intended to be used by HIV program managers and policy makers, HIV CT service providers, evaluators, researchers, and others at the local, state, and national levels who are interested in the public health implications of HIV prevention program data. The report presents CDC-funded HIV CT data from 59 health departments, but primarily focuses on the 33 health departments that sent HIV CT test-level data representing four quarters of 2006 and the 30 health departments that sent HIV CT test-level data representing four quarters of 2007. Arkansas and Puerto Rico did not send four quarters of test-level data for 2007, so are considered health departments with aggregate-level data for 2007 in this report. During 2006-2007, six health departments submitted all of their data in a test-level format that was not compatible with the CDC HIV CT form used for this report (e.g., values for risk and testing site type were not the same). Consequently, the data provided by these health departments are presented as aggregate-level for this report. Five other health departments, in addition to their quarterly test-level HIV CT data submissions for 2006 or 2007, provided some test-level data in a format that was different from the one used in this report. The additional data from these five health departments are presented as test-level data in this report to provide an overall number of HIV tests and newly identified HIV-positive tests funded by CDC (Tables 1a and 1b). However, these data are excluded from the remaining Tables and Figures due to incompatible variables.
