  • Title: CDC sets timetable for recommending HIV reporting. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
    Journal: AIDS Policy Law; 1997 Oct 31; 12(20):9-10. PubMed ID: 11364790.
    Abstract:
    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) informed State health directors that it will release guidelines on recommended HIV reporting practices in January 1998. This date gives State legislatures time to deliberate revising their own surveillance policies as soon as the 1998 sessions begin. According to the CDC timetable, States that decide to conduct HIV case surveillance would begin collecting data for a full year beginning in January 1999. Currently, 30 states track HIV cases among adults and adolescents, and all States (except Maryland and Texas) and territories use names to identify people with AIDS. A move to HIV case reporting is expected to enhance understanding of the epidemiology of the epidemic and target resources. Two policy advocates, the National Association of People with AIDS and the American Civil Liberties Union, reject name-based HIV reporting practices and advocate the use of unique or coded identifiers.
