Project Summary/Abstract To monitor the prevalence of HIV risk behaviors, HIV infection, and the use of HIV prevention programs among populations at increased risk for HIV, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health's (LACDPH) HIV Epidemiology Program proposes to implement an HIV behavioral surveillance system during 2011-2015. The system will involve alternating cross-sectional surveys among men who have sex with men (MSM), injecting drug users (IDU), and heterosexuals at risk for HIV infection (HET) using both venue-based and respondent- driven sampling methods. The collected behavioral data will be used to inform local HIV prevention planning as well as to contribute to a national HIV behavioral surveillance (NHBS) database. The overall goal of this proposal is to maintain our NHBS system for monitoring long-term trends in HIV risk behaviors among high-risk populations in Los Angeles County. In addition, we are proposing three supplemental research activities that will allow us to a) help develop new HIV-testing technologies during our third MSM cycle; b) estimate the prevalence of hepatitis B and C in MSM, IDU, and HET populations; and c) conduct one cycle of NHBS with a minimum of 200 male-to-female transgender persons (TG) of all races/ethnicities. To accomplish these goals, we have identified the following specific aims: 1. Conduct annual behavioral surveys. We will monitor the prevalence of HIV risk behaviors and access to and use of HIV prevention programs by administering standardized questionnaires among MSM, IDU, heterosexual, and male-to-female transgender persons at risk of HIV infection across six NHBS cycles in Los Angeles County. 2. Offer HIV and hepatitis B and C testing. We will provide rapid and standard HIV testing services to NHBS participants and use these outcome data to estimate HIV prevalence and incidence. We will also offer screening tests to detect evidence of hepatitis B and C infection across five NHBS cycles and offer participation in developing new HIV testing technologies during NHBS-MSM3. 3. Collaborate with local partners. We will engage local researchers in qualitative research activities and we will work with local community agencies to co-develop local-use survey questions and implementation strategies. 4. Evaluate the NHBS system. We will work collaboratively with CDC to monitor the local quality, efficiency, and value of NHBS data collection and implementation methods.

项目概要/摘要 监测艾滋病毒危险行为、艾滋病毒感染情况以及艾滋病毒预防计划的使用情况 艾滋病毒高危人群，洛杉矶县公共卫生部 (LACDPH) 的艾滋病毒 流行病学计划建议在2011-2015年期间实施艾滋病毒行为监测系统。这 系统将涉及对男男性行为者（MSM）进行交替横断面调查、注射 吸毒者 (IDU) 和有艾滋病毒感染风险的异性恋者 (HET) 使用场所和受访者 - 驱动采样方法。收集的行为数据将用于为当地艾滋病毒预防规划提供信息 以及为国家艾滋病毒行为监测（NHBS）数据库做出贡献。本次活动的总体目标 提案是维持我们的 NHBS 系统，以监测高危人群中艾滋病毒危险行为的长期趋势 洛杉矶县的人口。此外，我们还提议三项补充研究活动 将使我们能够 a) 在第三个 MSM 周期期间帮助开发新的 HIV 检测技术； b) 估计 MSM、IDU 和 HET 人群中乙型和丙型肝炎的患病率； c) 进行一个 NHBS 周期 至少 200 名所有种族/族裔的男变女跨性别者 (TG)。为了实现这些目标， 我们确定了以下具体目标： 1. 进行年度行为调查。我们将监测艾滋病毒危险行为的流行情况以及获得艾滋病毒的机会 通过在男男性行为者、吸毒者、注射吸毒者之间进行标准化调查问卷来实施艾滋病毒预防计划 在 6 个 NHBS 周期中，异性恋者和男变女变性者面临 HIV 感染风险 洛杉矶县。 2. 提供艾滋病毒以及乙型和丙型肝炎检测。我们将为您提供快速、标准的艾滋病检测服务 NHBS 参与者并使用这些结果数据来估计 HIV 患病率和发病率。我们还将 提供筛查测试，以检测五个 NHBS 周期内乙型肝炎和丙型肝炎感染的证据，并提供 在 NHBS-MSM3 期间参与开发新的 HIV 检测技术。 3. 与当地合作伙伴合作。我们将让当地研究人员参与定性研究活动 我们将与当地社区机构合作，共同制定当地使用的调查问题并实施 策略。 4. 评估 NHBS 系统。我们将与CDC合作，监控当地的质量、效率、 NHBS 数据收集和实施方法的价值。
