Abstract:
The National HIV Behavioral Surveillance System (NHBS) was designed to address the need for a national behavioral surveillance system for persons at risk for HIV infection, as articulated in CDC's HIV Prevention Strategic Plan. The primary objective of NHBS is to conduct behavioral surveillance among persons at high risk for HIV infection in the United States in order to assess prevalence of and trends in: 1) risk behaviors for HIV infection, 2) HIV testing behaviors, 3) HIV seroprevalence and incidence, and 4) exposure to, use of, and impact of HIV prevention services. Through NHBS, CDC works with state and local health departments to obtain HIV-related behavioral data through anonymous interviews with three groups at highest risk for infection: men who have sex with men, injecting drug users, and heterosexuals at increased risk. NHBS addresses the goal of strengthening the capacity nationwide to monitor the epidemic to better direct and evaluate prevention efforts.
