疾病控制和预防中心与25个州和地方卫生部门合作，于2003年启动了国家艾滋病毒行为监测系统（NHBS）。该系统关注的是有感染艾滋病毒风险的人群，并调查了美国感染艾滋病毒风险最高的三个人群：男男性行为者、注射吸毒者和高危异性恋者。该项目以12个月为循环周期收集这三个种群的信息。招募参与者的方法因每个高危人群而异，但NHBS对每个周期使用标准化的方案和核心问卷。参与调查的卫生部门对调查问卷进行了调整，以收集有关其所在地理区域提供的具体预防方案的信息，并满足当地的数据需求。从NHBS收集的数据将用于描述关键行为风险指标的趋势，并评估当前的艾滋病毒预防方案。这些信息反过来可以用来确定预防服务的差距，并针对新的预防活动，目标是减少美国的新艾滋病毒感染。
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in collaboration with 25 state and local health departments, began the National HIV Behavioral Surveillance System (NHBS) in 2003. The system focuses on people at risk for HIV infection and surveys the three populations at highest risk for HIV in the United States: men who have sex with men, injecting drug users, and high-risk heterosexuals. The project collects information from these three populations during rotating 12-month cycles.Methods for recruiting participants vary for each at-risk population, but NHBS uses a standardized protocol and core questionnaire for each cycle. Participating health departments tailor their questionnaire to collect information about specific prevention programs offered in their geographic area and to address local data needs.Data collected from NHBS will be used to describe trends in key behavioral risk indicators and evaluate current HIV prevention programs. This information in turn can be used to identify gaps in prevention services and target new prevention activities with the goal of reducing new HIV infections in the United States.
