As of November 1, 1999, a total of 34 States and the U.S. Virgin Islands participate in HIV case surveillance with CDC. Combined, these areas represent approximately 42 percent of AIDS cases reported. It is expected that additional States will move to HIV case surveillance and release the data to CDC. |
||||||
|
This objective is a modification of Healthy People 2000 objective 18.2, which tracked HIV prevalence using estimates based on data from a number of sources to derive estimates on HIV prevalence, including data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), CDC, NCHS (for the total population), anonymous surveys conducted in STD clinics (for men who have sex with men), seroprevalence studies (for injecting drug users), and the Survey on Childbearing Women (for females giving birth).8, 9 This measure will provide data based on HIV case surveillance reports from the HIV/AIDS Surveillance System. |

Ø The last time you had intercourse, did you or your partner use any method? |
||||||
|
[If yes:] o Which methods? 1) Birth control pills |
||||||
Expected Periodicity |
Periodic. |
||||||
Comments |
Unmarried females are considered to have used a condom at last intercourse if they reported they had never been married, were sexually active, and either used a female condom (vaginal pouch) or partner used a condom (rubber) at their last intercourse. |
||||||
|
Sexually active refers to females who have had intercourse in the 3 months prior to interview. |
||||||
|
This objective is adapted from a measure in Healthy People 2000 objective 19.10, which tracked the proportion of sexually active, unmarried people aged 15 to 44 years who report their partner used a condom at last intercourse. This measure tracks the proportion of females aged 18 to 44 years who used a condom (male or female) at last intercourse. |

A treatment facility is considered to offer HIV/STD education, counseling, and support if the facility reports it provides either HIV/AIDS testing, education/counseling/support health services, or programs for persons with AIDS. |

A proposed national and State data source is the HIV Counseling and Testing System (CTS), CDC, NCHSTP. |
||||||
|
For STD screening, the proposed numerator is the number of HIV tests among persons aged 18 years and older visiting an STD, family planning, or prenatal/obstetric HIV counseling and testing site who also receive screening for common bacterial STDs. |
||||||
|
For hepatitis B immunization, the proposed numerator is the number of HIV tests among persons aged 18 years and older visiting an STD, family planning, or prenatal/obstetric HIV counseling and testing site who receive a hepatitis B vaccination, according to Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommendations. |
||||||
|
Screening for common bacterial STDs and immunizations against hepatitis B is not feasible in all publicly funded CTS sites, which may include sites without a primary care provider on the premises. HIV counseling and testing sites providing STD, family planning, or prenatal/obstetric care will be able to offer appropriate services to populations at risk. |
||||||
|
CTS data are from publicly funded HIV counseling and testing sites provided in a variety of settings, including freestanding HIV counseling and testing sites (which offer anonymous tests, confidential tests, or both), STD clinics, family planning clinics, prenatal clinics, drug treatment centers, and correctional facilities (including long-term and short-term detention facilities). |
||||||
|
Data are collected and analyzed at the level of an individual test encounter, without the identity of the client. A single client can have multiple tests recorded during 1 year. Sites that only report test encounters in summary records and not individual test encounters will not be included in the analysis. |

An operational definition could not be specified at the time of publication. |
|
The proposed national data source is the Adult Spectrum of Disease (ASD) surveillance project, CDC, NCHSTP. ASD data represent more than 100 sites in 11 U.S. cities. ASD collects demographic, clinical, laboratory, surveillance, and other related data on HIV-infected persons aged 13 years and older. Data currently are being analyzed to measure this objective. |
|
The proposed numerator is the number who ever received a viral load test in the past year. The proposed denominator is the number of persons who had at least one visit to a clinic participating in the ASD surveillance project. |
|
Viral load testing is defined as the methods used to monitor HIV replication in a given sample of body fluid (usually blood). Measurements are necessary to determine risk for disease progression in an HIV-infected person and to determine when to initiate or modify antiretroviral treatment regimens. |
|
ASD data were standardized to national AIDS surveillance data by age, race, sex, country of birth, year of AIDS diagnosis, and HIV exposure mode. Exposure modes in AIDS surveillance were redistributed to adjust for cases with risk that were not reported or identified. |
