目标。本研究检验了美国艾滋病毒/艾滋病报告系统 (HARS) 报告的首次艾滋病毒检测呈阳性日期的可靠性。该日期对于确定艾滋病毒治疗和预防工作资源分配的病例数至关重要。方法。在 16 个州进行的一项访谈调查（n=16,394，1995-2002 年访谈）中，艾滋病毒感染者报告的首次艾滋病毒检测呈阳性的日期与向 HAIRS 报告的艾滋病毒诊断日期进行了比较。计算诊断年份和加权 kappa (k) 与 95% 置信区间 (CI) 的一致性百分比。结果。 56% 的日期对自我报告的诊断年份与 HARS 中的诊断年份一致（k=0.69；95% CI 0.68，0.70）； 30% 的人报告诊断年份较早。协议因性别、年龄、种族、接触情况以及测试原因或地点而异（p
Objectives. This study examined the reliability of the first positive HIV test date reported in the U.S. HIV/AIDS Reporting System (HARS). This date is essential to determine case counts for resource allocation for HIV treatment and prevention efforts.Methods. The dates of first positive HIV tests reported by individuals with HIV in an interview survey conducted in 16 states (n=16,394, interviewed 1995-2002) were compared with the dates of HIV diagnosis reported to HAIRS. The percentage of agreement for the year of diagnosis and the weighed kappa (k) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) was calculated.Results. Self-reported year of diagnosis agreed with the year of diagnosis in HARS for 56% of date pairs (k=0.69; 95% CI 0.68, 0.70); 30% reported an earlier diagnosis year. Agreement differed by sex, age, race, exposure, and reason or place of testing (p
