Proposed Project

    Supplement to HIV/AIDS Surveillance (SHAS) Project--New--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 annual burden hours 
are 3500.
