the CDC Reports Clearance Officer at (404) 639-7090. Send written

Proposed Project

    Supplement to HIV/AIDS Surveillance (SHAS) Project, OMB No. 0920-
0262--Extension--National Center for HIV/STD and Tuberculosis 
Prevention, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is 
proposing to extend the currently approved questionnaire for the 
Supplement to HIV/AIDS Surveillance (SHAS) project. 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 3,625.
