This serial reports on the Medical Monitoring Project (MMP). The MMP was designed to be a nationally representative, population-based surveillance system to assess clinical outcomes and behavioral outcomes among persons with HIV infection who are receiving medical care in the United States. This report covers data collected during June 2007 to September 2008 for patients who received medical care in 2007. Findings indicate that in 2007, most persons with HIV infection who were receiving medical care were taking antiretroviral therapy (ART), and had some form of health insurance or coverage. However, some persons were not receiving needed critical ancillary services. Also, some persons living with HIV infection engaged in behaviors that increased the risk of HIV transmission to sexual partners, and some used noninjection or injection drugs for nonmedical purposes, which might decrease adherence to antiretroviral therapy and increase health-risk behaviors.
