摘要

In 1981, the first cases of AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) were reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Since that time, the HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) epidemic has expanded to become one of the greatest public health challenges, both nationally and globally. More than 25 years after the first reports of AIDS, this issue of the HIV/AIDS Surveillance Report marks the reporting of more than 1 million AIDS cases since the beginning of the epidemic in the United States. The number of cases underscores the fact that despite significant advances in HIV testing, prevention, and treatment in the United States, the human toll has been substantial. CDCs national system for the surveillance of HIV infection has evolved as our understanding of the epidemic has advanced. CDC developed the serologic testing algorithm for recent HIV seroconversion (STARHS), which uses HIV testing technology to determine, at the population level, the positive HIV test results that indicate new HIV infections (those that occurred within approximately the past 5 months). The ability to distinguish recent from longstanding HIV infection by using STARHS enabled the development of national incidence surveillance, which has been integrated with the established national HIV diagnosis surveillance system. HIV diagnosis data, testing and treatment history, and STARHS results are now used to estimate national HIV incidence (the annual number of new infections). The monitoring of trends in HIV incidence will help CDC and state and local programs to better focus and evaluate prevention efforts for the populations at greatest risk improvements that are critical in achieving progress toward CDCs goal of reducing the number of new HIV infections in the United States.
