Report on National HIV Seroprevalence Surveys
CDC collaborates with state and local health departments, other
federal agencies, blood collection agencies, and medical research
institutions to conduct human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
seroprevalence surveys in a variety of sentinel populations.
Together these surveys constitute a serosurveillance network to
monitor the prevalence of HIV infection in the United States.
This "family" of surveys includes studies among patients at
sexually transmitted disease clinics, drug-treatment centers,
women's health clinics, and tuberculosis clinics in 44 cities;
patients at sentinel hospitals in 30 cities and in a network of
ambulatory-care practices; childbearing women in 44 states, the
District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico; and blood donors,
applicants for military service, and Job Corps entrants (Figure
1).
