Description:HIV/AIDS surveillance programs in all U.S. states collect a core set of information on persons with a diagnosis of HIV infection or AIDS, persons who are living with HIV infection or AIDS, and persons who have died from HIV infection or AIDS. Historically, supplemental surveillance projects have provided complementary information about the clinical outcomes of HIV infection and the behaviors of HIV-infected persons with respect to seeking medical care, access to and utilization of health care services, and ongoing risk behaviors.
The Adult/Adolescent Spectrum of HIV Disease (ASD) project was implemented in 1990 as a supplemental surveillance system to collect information on the treatment and clinical outcomes of HIV-infected persons who were in care.1 ASD, a facility-based, observational medical records abstraction project, involved the abstraction of medical records of more than 60,000 people receiving HIV care in 11 U.S. cities. ASD data have been used to examine trends in the incidence of AIDS-defining opportunistic illnesses, to determine whether eligible patients were receiving prophylactic and antiretroviral medications, and to provide information for treatment and prevention guidelinesresearch_mmp_protocol_2007.pdf
