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.

HIV Surveillance - Adolescents and Young Adults (through 2013)

This slide set provides information on the epidemiology of HIV infection in adolescents and young adults in the United States and 6 dependent areas through 2013. Different surveillance breakdowns include: by race/ethnicity; by transmission category; by age groups; by gender; by sex and race/ethnicity; by sex and transmission category; and by Stage 3 AIDS. This slide set is also available in PowerPoint at: http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/ppt/statistics_surveillance_Adolescents.pptx.

Basic Epidemiology for Tuberculosis Program Staff

This guide discusses the use of statistics and epidemiology in TB control. It defines key concepts in epidemiology and gives detailed examples and sample problems. It explains specific uses of epidemiology and epidemiologic terms and techniques. The monograph describes how these concepts can be used by TB program staff and uses data and examples from TB case studies.

MMWR: Progress Toward the Elimination of Tuberculosis--United States, 1998

This report summarizes national surveillance TB data for 1998 and compares them with similar data from 1992. The report includes number of reported cases and the percentage change in number of cases and rates by state and year as well as by sex, age, and year for 1992 and 1998. Findings indicate that the number of TB cases has decreased and that trends in the number of reported cases and TB incidence varied by geographic area and population characteristics.

AIDS Epidemic Update: December 2002

This report presents the latest developments in the global HIV/AIDS epidemic. With maps and regional summaries, this report provides the most recent estimates of the epidemic’s scope and human toll, explores new trends in the epidemic’s evolution, and features a special section examining the links between HIV/AIDS and humanitarian crises. The estimates are based on the most recent available data on the spread of HIV in countries around the world.

[Case Study on Estimating HIV Infection in a Concentrated Epidemic: Lessons From Indonesia]

This report discusses the process used in Indonesia to develop estimates of the number of people infected with HIV. The report discusses the reasons for making national estimates of HIV, the difficulty of making estimates when the disease is concentrated in specific populations whose behavior puts them at high risk of infection and transmission, and the challenges faced by Indonesia. It explains the process used to develop estimates, the ground rules, setting up the spreadsheets, and lessons learned.

Electronic Record Linkage to Identify Deaths Among Persons With AIDS – District of Columbia, 2000-2005

This report discusses the use of electronic record linkage to identify deaths that occurred during 2000-2005 among persons with AIDS who resided or were diagnosed in the District of Columbia (DC). This electronic record linkage was used to ascertain deaths annually as part of routine HIV/AIDS surveillance. Record linkage was achieved using Link Plus, a free program developed by CDC.

HIV/AIDS Surveillance Report: Cases of HIV Infection and AIDS in the United States and Dependent Areas, 2006

This report presents estimated numbers of cases of HIV/AIDS from the 38 areas (33 states and five US dependent areas) with confidential name-based HIV infection reporting since at least 2003. It also includes the following statistics reported to the CDC through 2006: (1) cases of HIV/AIDS and AIDS; (2) deaths of persons with AIDS; (3) persons living with HIV/AIDS, AIDS, or HIV infection; (4) length of survival after AIDS diagnosis, and (5) reports of cases of HIV/AIDS, AIDS, and HIV infection.

MMWR Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report: Surveillance for Acute Viral Hepatitis - United States, 2006

This report describes the burden of acute disease attributed to infection with the hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C viruses, and describes acute disease trends in recent years. Cases of acute viral hepatitis are reported weekly by state and territorial health departments to CDC's National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System. The report includes the methods of collecting data, definitions for acute viral hepatitis, and analyses.
