New Systems Urgently Needed to Guide Prevention Efforts
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has released guidelines to assist states in the design and implementation of effective systems to track the course of the HIV epidemic. In the wake of recent treatment advances, which have slowed the progression from HIV to AIDS for many individuals, data on AIDS cases alone can no longer be reliably used to direct prevention efforts to communities currently at greatest risk. To address the need for information to ensure effective targeting of prevention services, in September 1997, CDC called for all states and territories to conduct HIV case surveillance as an extension of their AIDS surveillance programs.
