HIV/AIDS surveillance report ; v. 18

Section 1. Cases of HIV infection and AIDS -- Section 2. Deaths -- Section 3. Persons living with HIV/AIDS, AIDS, or HIV infection (not AIDS) -- Section 4. Survival after AIDS diagnosis -- Section 5. Reports of cases of HIV/AIDS, AIDS, and HIV infection (not AIDS) -- Technical notes -- Web addresses for reports of state or Local HIV surveillance

"This report includes data from case reports from 50 areas (see Table 16 for list of areas) that had laws or regulations requiring confidential reporting by name for adults, adolescents, and children with confirmed HIV infection (not AIDS) in addition to the reporting of persons with AIDS as of December 31, 2006. After the removal of personal identifying information, data from these reports were submitted to CDC. The implementation of HIV reporting has differed from state to state. Before 1991, surveillance of HIV infection (not AIDS) was not standardized, and the reporting of HIV infection (not AIDS) was based primarily on passive surveillance. The information on many of the cases reported before 1991 is not complete. Since then, CDC has assisted states in conducting active surveillance of HIV infection (not AIDS) by the use of standardized report forms and software." - p. 48
