Evaluation of the National Human Immunodeficiency Virus Surveillance System for the 2011 diagnosis year.

ABSTRACT:

Context

In 2009, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention completed migration of all 59 surveillance project areas (PAs) from the case-based HIV/AIDS Reporting System to the document-based Enhanced HIV/AIDS Reporting System.

Objectives

We conducted a PA-level assessment of Enhanced HIV/AIDS Reporting System process and outcome standards for HIV infection cases.

Design

Process standards were reported by PAs and outcome standards were calculated using standardized Centers for Disease Control and Prevention SAS code.

Setting

A total of 59 PAs including 50 US states, the District of Columbia, 6 separately funded cities (Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles County, New York City, Philadelphia, and San Francisco), and 2 territories (Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands)
