Project: Minority AIDS Initiative (MAI) Rapid HIV Testing Clinical 
Information Form (OMB No. 0930-0295)--Revision

    This request is for a three-year generic clearance to continue 
rapid HIV testing data collection among 63 TCE-HIV Grantees and their 
clients and the additional 11 MAI-HIV Grantees and their clients. The 
primary purpose of the

[[Page 34961]]

MAI Rapid HIV Testing Clinical Information Form is to use a 
standardized data collection instrument to fully capture essential 
clinical information to enhance preventive services for those who test 
HIV-negative and refer to quality treatment/medical care those who test 
HIV-positive.
    The aim of the project is to implement and increase rapid HIV 
testing among racial and ethnic minorities and collect rapid HIV 
testing data using the MAI Rapid HIV Testing Clinical Information Form. 
To meet this requirement, all Grantees must offer their clients rapid 
HIV preliminary antibody testing during outreach, pretreatment, or 
program enrollment. In addition, rapid HIV testing may be made 
available to the sexual and/or injection partners of clients. Grantees 
must provide onsite rapid HIV testing in accordance with their 
respective State and local requirements. If a client requests an off-
site rapid HIV test, the Grantee must provide a referral to a rapid HIV 
testing site certified by the local health department.
    Grantees are currently using the MAI Rapid HIV Testing Clinical 
Information Form in the field to systematically collect information 
from clients on demographics, previous rapid HIV test results, 
substance use and sexual risk behaviors, current rapid HIV test 
results, types of services received, and confirmatory HIV test result. 
Once a client is offered a rapid HIV test, the Grantee staff completes 
the MAI Rapid HIV Testing Clinical Information Form with the client 
present and then enters the data into a secure Web site that allows for 
real-time data submission.
    The estimated annualized burden is summarized below.
