Project Summary Through the proposed National HIV Behavioral Surveillance (NHBS) project, the Louisiana Office of Public Health HIV/AIDS Program (OPH HAP) and its contracted partners will monitor risk behaviors and access to prevention services in three target populations who are at risk for HIV infection (men who have sex with men (MSM), injection drug users (IDU) and high-risk heterosexuals (HET)) in the New Orleans metropolitan area. Data collected through this project will contribute to a national system that will ultimately be used to direct and evaluate local and national HIV prevention efforts. In addition, the project will assist in evaluating individuals' access to and knowledge of local HIV prevention programs. Finally, the project will complement current activities conducted by HAP to systematically assess the revitalization and changes in risk behavior in particular neighborhoods of the city following hurricane Katrina. OPH HAP will coordinate with CDC and other grantees to implement protocols that will monitor factors that place people at higher risk for HIV. For each cycle, 500 eligible persons will be recruited using respondent-driven or venue-based, time/space sampling methods in the New Orleans metropolitan statistical area. A standardized questionnaire that examines factors such as sexual behavior, drug-use, attitudes towards testing and condom use, social and sexual networks, partner characteristics, and HIV status and testing history will be administered to all participants. Rapid oral HIV testing (with confirmatory Western blot for reactive specimens) will be provided to all participants and testing data will be linked to survey results. A valuable component of this project will be its formative ethnographic and assessment activities, which will include the systematic collection of both quantitative and qualitative data about the target population and the areas in which they reside or in which they have social ties. Information gathered by documenting indicators of neighborhood recovery, as well as through interviews with community members and focus groups with community partners will assist the project's staff in implementing activities that will lead to the accomplishment of project goals. HAP will also collaborate with CDC, other grantees, and local and national university partners to evaluate and further refine NHBS protocols. In summary, these combined activities will enhance the current capacity to inform and direct HIV prevention activities on a local level. Moreover, when the data are collectively analyzed across all sites in the country, the result will be a consistent, ongoing, externally valid surveillance system to be used to make programmatic decisions to control the spread of HIV.

项目摘要 通过拟议的全国艾滋病毒行为监测项目，路易斯安那州 公共卫生办公室艾滋病毒/艾滋病项目(OPH HAP)及其合同合作伙伴将监测 三个高危人群的危险行为和获得预防服务的机会 艾滋病毒感染(男男性行为者、注射吸毒者和高危人群 异性恋者(HET))在新奥尔良大都市区。通过该项目收集的数据 将有助于建立一个国家系统，该系统最终将被用于指导和评估地方和 国家预防艾滋病毒的努力。此外，该项目将帮助评估个人的 获得当地艾滋病毒预防方案的机会和知识。最后，该项目将补充 HAP目前开展的活动，以系统评估#年的振兴和变化 卡特里娜飓风过后，该市特定社区的危险行为。 Oph HAP将与CDC和其他受赠人协调，以实施将监控 使人们感染艾滋病毒的风险更高的因素。每个周期将有500名符合资格的人 使用受访者驱动或基于地点的时间/空间抽样方法在新的 奥尔良大都会统计区。一种标准化的调查问卷，用于检查以下因素 如性行为、药物使用、对检测和避孕套使用的态度、社会和性 网络、合作伙伴特征、艾滋病毒状态和检测历史将管理给所有人 参与者。快速口腔艾滋病毒检测(对反应样本进行确认性蛋白质印迹检测) 将提供给所有参与者，测试数据将与调查结果联系起来。 该项目的一个有价值的组成部分将是其形成的人种学和评估 活动，其中将包括系统收集定量和定性数据 关于目标人群以及他们居住或有社会关系的地区。 通过记录邻里恢复指标以及通过 与社区成员和社区合作伙伴的焦点小组的访谈将有助于 项目工作人员参与实施有助于实现项目目标的活动。 HAP还将与疾控中心、其他受资助者以及当地和国立大学合作伙伴合作，以 评估和进一步完善NHBS协议。总而言之，这些合并的活动将 加强目前在地方一级通报和指导艾滋病毒预防活动的能力。 此外，当对全国所有站点的数据进行集体分析时，结果将 作为一致的、持续的、外部有效的监视系统，用于制定计划 控制艾滋病毒传播的决定。
