National HIV Behavioral Surveillance System

项目摘要 国家艾滋病毒行为监测方案的目的是监测艾滋病毒流行情况 通过艾滋病毒行为监测。该计划的目标是保持持续的监视 确定艾滋病毒危险行为和艾滋病毒感染在高危人群中的流行情况的系统 获得艾滋病毒感染，用于发展和指导地方和国家预防服务和 程序。每年将在男男性行为者(MSM)、注射毒品的男性中轮流收集数据 吸毒者(吸毒者)和感染艾滋病毒风险增加的异性恋者。NHBS是一个匿名的，跨部门的， 使用标准化问卷的多站点调查。抽样和招聘战略将包括 以场地为基础的时空抽样和受访者驱动的抽样调查。至少500名符合条件的人 每年的参与者/风险组都将被登记。该系统将评估危险行为以及访问和 利用艾滋病毒预防方案。将进行艾滋病毒感染的自愿检测，以评估 HIV血清阳性率和发病率。 此外，还将在所有周期内提供肝炎检测，以便 测量高危人群中的流行率。 还将实施变性人艾滋病毒行为监测(THBS)，以加强国家 监测艾滋病毒流行情况并改进预防工作的指导和评估的能力 男性到女性变性人。THBS的数据还将用于满足疾控中心艾滋病毒预防 改善变性人或性别人群艾滋病毒相关危险行为监测的战略计划目标 不同的人。 这项计划将提供一个机会，利用招聘高危个人的经验 非医疗保健社区环境使用科学合理的方法来维持持续的系统 用于监测与艾滋病毒感染有关的行为。这将加强全国范围内的监测能力 艾滋病毒/艾滋病流行，制定和实施有效的艾滋病毒预防干预措施并评估预防措施 程序。

Project Summary The purpose of the National HIV Behavioral Surveillance program is to monitor the HIV epidemic through HIV behavioral surveillance. The objectives of this program are to maintain an ongoing surveillance system to ascertain the prevalence of HIV risk behaviors and HIV infection among groups at high risk for acquiring HIV infection to use in developing and directing both local and national prevention services and programs. Data collection will rotate each year among men who have sex with men (MSM), injecting drug users (IDU), and heterosexuals at increased risk for HIV infection. NHBS is an anonymous, cross-sectional, multisite survey that utilizes a standardized questionnaire. Sampling and recruitment strategies will include venue based, time-space sampling and respondent driven sampling surveys. A minimum of 500 eligible participants each year/risk group will be enrolled. This system will assess risk behaviors and access to and utilization of HIV prevention programs. Voluntary testing for HIV infection will be conducted in order to assess HIV seroprevalence and incidence. In addition, hepatitis testing will be offered during all cycle in order to measure the prevalence in high risk populations. Transgender HIV Behavioral Surveillance (THBS) will also be implemented to strengthen the national capacity to monitor the HIV epidemic and improve the direction and evaluation of prevention efforts among male-to-female transgender persons. The THBS data will also serve to meet the CDC HIV Prevention Strategic Plan objective of improving surveillance of HIV-related risk behaviors among transgender or gender variant persons. This program will provide an opportunity to capitalize on experience recruiting at-risk individuals from non-health care community settings using scientifically sound methodologies to maintain an ongoing system for surveillance of behaviors related to HIV acquisition. This will strengthen the capacity nationwide to monitor the HIV/AIDS epidemic, develop and implement effective HIV prevention interventions and evaluate prevention programs.
