The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has several online resources for HIV prevention partners. We hope that you find these resources helpful and appreciate your continued HIV prevention efforts.
CDC releases “Monitoring selected national HIV prevention and care objectives by using HIV surveillance data—United States and 6 U.S. dependent areas—2010, Part B” Surveillance Supplemental report
Today, the Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention (DHAP) releases an HIV Surveillance Supplemental Report, “Monitoring selected national HIV prevention and care objectives by using HIV surveillance data—United States and 6 U.S. dependent areas—2010, Part B”.
This report, complements two earlier reports, the 2010 HIV Surveillance Report released in March 2012 and the HIV Surveillance Supplemental Report entitled “Monitoring selected national HIV prevention and care objectives by using HIV surveillance data—United States and 6 U.S. dependent areas—2010, Part A” released in June 2012. Part A presented the results of focused analyses monitoring progress toward achieving selected objectives outlined in the National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS) and the DHAP Strategic Plan by using data from the National HIV Surveillance System (NHSS).
Not all indicators outlined in the NHAS and the DHAP Strategic Plan are included in part B. However, part B does highlight key objectives of the NHAS, Healthy People 2020 and the DHAP Strategic Plan. Within part B, NHSS data were used to measure the following:
Stage of disease at diagnosis of HIV infection
Linkage to HIV medical care
Retention in HIV medical care
Viral suppression among persons with diagnosed HIV infection
Deaths of persons with diagnosed HIV infection
Updated annual rates of HIV transmission
Information captured in parts A and B will be used to update a larger national report, scheduled for release later this year, that will integrate data from multiple CDC data systems to describe progress toward achieving the objectives of the National HIV/AIDS Strategy and DHAP’s Strategic Plan.
The DHAP Strategic Plan, which is closely aligned with the NHAS, outlines 15 national objectives aimed at reducing the burden of HIV in the United States. CDC’s use of various surveillance systems, such as NHSS, can be helpful in capturing specific data used to monitor progress in meeting the goals and objectives outlined in the NHAS and DHAP Strategic Plan.
