Monitoring Selected National HIV Prevention and Care Objectives by Using HIV Surveillance Data: United States and 6 Dependent Areas–2013

This surveillance supplemental report complements the 2010 HIV Surveillance Report and part A of the surveillance supplemental report by presenting the results of additional focused analyses to measure progress toward achieving selected objectives of the National HIV/AIDS strategy (NHAS) and the DHAP Strategic Plan. It also illustrates how data from the National HIV Surveillance System can be used to assess progress on selected key objectives. In this report, data from the 14 jurisdictions that reported complete CD4 and viral load laboratory results were used for the analyses that require complete laboratory data. Data by transmission category were statistically adjusted to account for missing risk-factor information. In addition to laboratory data, deaths per 1.000 persons living with HIV infection are presented. The report updates the US rates of HIV transmission published in Part A. It includes a table summarizing the status of HIV-related CD4 and viral load reporting regulations or laws as of September 2012.
