Proposed Project
Supplement to HIV/AIDS Surveillance (SHAS) Project--Revision--The
National Center for HIV, STD and TB Prevention (NCHSTP). NCHSTP is
proposing revisions to the currently-approved questionnaire for the
Supplement to HIV/AIDS Surveillance (SHAS) project (OMB No. 0920-0262).
This questionnaire provides detailed information about persons with HIV
infection which continues to be of significant interest to public
health, community, minority groups and affected groups. Since 1989, the
CDC, in collaboration with 12 state and local health agencies, has
collected data through the national Supplemental HIV/AIDS Surveillance
project. The objective of this project is to obtain increased
descriptive information on persons with newly-reported HIV and AIDS
infections, including sociodemographic characteristics, risk behaviors,
use of health care services, sexual and substance abuse behaviors,
minority issues and adherence to therapy. The revised questionnaire
will address important emerging surveillance and prevention issues,
particularly those related to the recent advances in therapy for HIV
infection. This information supplements routine, national HIV/AIDS
surveillance and is used to improve CDC's understanding of minority
issues related to the epidemic of HIV, target educational efforts to
prevent transmission, and improve services for persons with HIV
infection. The total cost to the respondents is 0.
