每个提供者的高度怀疑对于确保诊断和完整的报告非常重要。这种积极的监测将使国家能够有效地监测疾病的发生、确定新的危险群体和查明不寻常的病例以供进一步研究。医生和卫生保健工作者应向州卫生部门报告所有怀疑患有艾滋病的儿童和成人，卫生部门再向疾病预防控制中心报告。很明显，儿童和青少年艾滋病病例正在增加，这是因为发病率增加、诊断增加和/或监测增加。儿科医护人员，特别是那些在高流行地区和那些照顾高危人群，需要认识到艾滋病和遇到的问题，在照顾这些儿童。
A high level of suspicion by every provider is very important to ensure diagnosis and complete reporting. Such active surveillance will enable effective national monitoring of the occurrence of the disease, the definition of new risk groups and the identification of unusual cases for further study. Physicians and health care workers should report all children and adults suspected of having AIDS to their state health departments who, in turn, report to the CDC. It is clear that the number of cases of AIDS in children and adolescents is increasing because of either increased occurrence, increased diagnosis and/or increased surveillance. Pediatric health care personnel, especially those in high prevalence areas and those caring for high risk populations, need to be aware of AIDS and the problem encountered in caring for these children.
