The Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention in
collaboration with health departments in states, DC and US
dependent areas, conducts national surveillance for cases of HIV
infection that includes critical data across the spectrum of HIV
disease from HIV diagnosis, to AIDS, and death. In 2010, the
enhanced electronic HIV/AIDS reporting system (eHARS) will be fully
deployed, allowing for increased functionality and tracking of all
documents related to cases reports in one system. CDC seeks to
continue data collection of case reports with additional data
elements. DHAP requests approval of a revised data form for
Enhanced Perinatal Surveillance to include changes to improve the
usability of the form.

The decrease in burden is due
to estimated leveling of the number of cases reported over the next
3 years as surveillance systems mature in areas recently
implementing name-based HIV reporting. The reduction in the number
of areas conducting supplemental data collection for incidence and
VARHS also decreased the burden hours.
