  "Global surveillance of HIV/AIDS and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) is a joint effort of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS). The UNAIDS/WHO Working Group on Global HIV/AIDS and STI Surveillance, initiated in November 1996, is the main coordination and implementation mechanism for UNAIDS and WHO to compile the best information available and to improve the quality of data needed for informed decision-making and planning at national, regional and global levels. ... The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Atlanta, USA, deserves special credit for having prepared these Guidelines. The key professional staff, Dr. Christopher Murrill and Dr. Rebecca Martin, should be congratulated for their efforts in producing this document, with editorial assistance from Ms. Sadhna Patel and Ms. Beatrice Divine." - p. ii
