dotHIV Surveillance Report: Clinical and Behavioral Characteristics of Adults Receiving Medical Care for HIV Infection

Note: Although the HIV/AIDS Reporting System (eHARS) is the cornerstone of surveillance of HIV disease, supplemental surveillance projects have provided additional information about care seeking, health care utilization, and behaviors. In 2005, in response to an Institute of Medicine Report, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) implemented the Medical Monitoring Project (MMP), a nationally representative, population-based surveillance system to assess clinical and behavioral outcomes among HIV-infected persons. This report presents interview data collected during the 2005 pilot cycle of the MMP. Data were collected from January 2006 through August 2007.
