National HIV Behavioral Surveillance System - NHBS Core

项目简介(由申请人提供)：国家艾滋病毒行为监测系统(NHBS)的主要目标是监测美国三个艾滋病毒感染高危人群的危险行为和获得预防服务的机会：男男性行为者(MSM)、注射吸毒者(IDU)和艾滋病毒高危异性恋(HET)。NHBS战略包括在这三个人口中轮流进行12个月的监测活动。丹佛市统计局(MSA)自2003年成立以来一直参与NHBS。科罗拉多州公共卫生和环境部(CDPHE)作为州卫生部门，将作为该奖项的受赠人，主要负责实现与当地城市卫生部门丹佛市公共卫生(DPH)签订的合同规定的目标。为了实现资助公告中概述的目标，我们提出了以下具体目标：1)评估和监测丹佛市MSM、IDU和HET这三个艾滋病毒感染高危人群的危险行为和获得预防服务的情况；2)评估丹佛市MSM、IDU和HET人群中艾滋病毒、丙型肝炎和乙肝病毒感染的血清阳性率；3)在MSM周期中进行新的艾滋病毒检测技术；以及4)分析、传播和利用NHBS数据，以实现丹佛MSA对公共健康的最大影响。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Project Abstract The principal objective of the National HIV Behavioral Surveillance System (NHBS) is to monitor risk behaviors and access to prevention services among three populations at highest risk for HIV infection in the United States: men who have sex with men (MSM), injection-drug users (IDU), and heterosexuals at increased risk for HIV (HET). The NHBS strategy involves rotating 12-month cycles of surveillance activities in these three populations. The Denver Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) has been involved with NHBS since its inception in 2003. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE), as the state health department, will serve as the grantee for this award with the primary responsibility for meeting stated objectives contracted to Denver Public Health (DPH), the local city health department. In order to achieve the objectives outlined in the funding announcement, we propose the following specific aims: 1) To assess and monitor risk behaviors and access to prevention services among three populations at highest risk for HIV infection in the Denver MSA: MSM, IDU, and HET, 2) To evaluate the seroprevalence of HIV, HCV, and HBV infection in the MSM, IDU, and HET populations at risk for HIV infection in the Denver MSA, 3) To conduct new HIV testing technologies during the MSM cycle, and 4) To analyze, disseminate, and utilize NHBS data to realize the greatest public health impact in the Denver MSA.
