Abstract:
The NHBS was designed to address the need for a national behavioral surveillance system for persons at risk for HIV infection. The primary objective is to conduct behavioral surveillance among persons at high-rsk for HIV in the US to assess prevalence of and trends in 1) risk behaviors, 2) HIV testing behaviors, 3) HIV seroprevalence and incidence, and 4) exposure to, use of, and impact of HIV prevention services. CDC works with state and local health depts. to collect data through anonymous interviews with men who have sex with men, injecting drug users, and heterosexuals at increased risk. NHBS addresses the goal of strengthening the capacity to monitor the epidemic to better direct and evaluate prevention efforts. The revisions include adding respondents, modifying instruments, and lowering the overall burden.
