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的流行 通过艾滋病行为监测。该计划的目标是保持持续的监视 艾滋病高危人群艾滋病危险行为和艾滋病感染率的确定系统， 获得艾滋病毒感染，用于发展和指导地方和国家预防服务， 程序.数据收集将每年轮流在男男性行为者、注射毒品者和吸毒者中进行。 吸毒者（IDU）和异性恋者感染艾滋病毒的风险增加。NHBS是一个匿名的，跨部门的， 使用标准化问卷的多地点调查。抽样和征聘战略将包括 基于地点的、时空抽样和被调查者驱动的抽样调查。至少500名合格人员 每年/风险组的参与者将被招募。该系统将评估风险行为以及获得和 利用艾滋病毒预防方案。将进行艾滋病毒感染自愿检测，以评估 艾滋病毒血清阳性率和发病率。 此外，肝炎检测将提供在所有周期，以 测量高危人群的患病率。 还将实施变性人艾滋病毒行为监测，以加强国家 加强监测艾滋病毒流行病的能力，改进对预防工作的指导和评价， 男变女的变性人。THBS数据还将用于满足CDC艾滋病毒预防 战略计划的目标是改进对变性人或变性人中与艾滋病毒有关的危险行为的监测 变种人 该计划将提供一个机会，利用经验，从 非卫生保健社区环境使用科学合理的方法来维持一个持续的系统 用于监测与艾滋病毒感染有关的行为。这将加强全国监测能力， 艾滋病毒/艾滋病流行，制定和执行有效艾滋病毒预防干预措施，并评价预防工作 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.
