National HIV Behavioral Surveillance System - NHBS Core

国家HIV行为监测系统（NHBS）的主要目标是监测美国HIV感染风险最高的三个人群的风险行为和获得预防服务的情况：男男性行为者（MSM）、注射吸毒者（IDU）和HIV感染风险增加的异性恋者（HET）。国家卫生健康局的战略包括在这三个人群中轮流开展12个月周期的监测活动。丹佛大都会统计区（MSA）自2003年NHBS成立以来一直参与其中。科罗拉多州公共卫生与环境部（CDPHE）作为州卫生部门，将作为该奖项的受让方，主要负责实现与当地城市卫生部门丹佛公共卫生（DPH）签订的既定目标。为了实现资金公告中概述的目标，我们提出以下具体目标：1)评估和监测丹佛市MSA三种艾滋病毒感染风险最高人群的风险行为和预防服务获取情况；MSM， IDU和HET， 2)评估丹佛MSA MSM， IDU和HET中HIV， HCV和HBV感染的血清患病率，3)在MSM周期内开展新的HIV检测技术，4)分析，传播和利用NHBS数据以实现丹佛MSA最大的公共卫生影响。

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.
