Abstract: CDC in collaboration with state and local health departments in the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. dependent areas, conducts national surveillance for cases of HIV infection that provides critical data across the spectrum of HIV disease from HIV diagnosis, to AIDS, the end-stage disease caused by infection with HIV, and death. HIV surveillance data are used to monitor the extent and characteristics of the HIV burden in the United States. In addition, this national system provides essential data to estimate HIV incidence and monitor patterns in HIV drug resistance and genetic diversity, detect HIV clusters, and perinatal exposures.
