  1. Alliance Discussion with Office of AIDS: November 2008 • HIV/AIDS Surveillance • Surveillance overview • HIV Incidence Surveillance • Second Surveillance Stakeholder meeting • Website Update

  2. OA Focus:Enhancing HIV/AIDS Surveillance Core Surveillance Incidence Surveillance

  3. Comparing Core & HIV Incidence Surveillance (HIS)

  4. CDC Publications and OA Talking Points - Prevalence 1) CDPH/OA - Talking Points - MMWR, October 3, 2008 - HIV Prevalence Estimates (PDF, New Window) CDC released estimates of HIV prevalence in the U.S. through 2006, including estimates of the numbers of individuals who are unaware of their HIV infection. 2) CDPH/OA Talking Points - HIV Prevalence Estimates of California, 2008 (PDF, New Window) Describes CDPH/OA's recent estimates of current and projected HIV prevalence in California. 3) Estimated Persons Living with HIV (not AIDS) and Persons Living with AIDS in California, 2006-2020 (PDF, New Window) Table showing CDPH/OA's recent estimates of current and projected HIV prevalence in California.

  5. Key CA Estimates - Prevalence • 2006 Estimate: 129,400–159,300 • 2008 Estimate: 132,072- 170,066 http://www.cdph.ca.gov/programs/aids/Documents/News2006-2020CAHIVPrevRoughEstTable.pdf

  6. Key CA Estimates – Unknown HIV Status • The revised estimate of persons in CA HIV-infected but unaware, is between 27,369 and 33,513 as of the end of 2008.

  7. CDC Publications and OA Talking Points - Incidence 1) CDPH/OA - Talking Points - Journal of the American Medical Association Article on National HIV Incidence Estimates (August 3, 2008) (PDF, New Window) Describes revised estimates of HIV incidence nationally based upon new testing and statistical methods. 2) CDPH/OA - Talking Points - Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report - September 12, 2008 - Subpopulation Estimates from the HIV Incidence Surveillance System, United States, 2006 (PDF, New Window) Report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in its recent series on revised HIV incidence estimates and HIV testing patterns.

  8. Key CA Estimates - Incidence • The estimated number of new infections occurring each year in CA is between 5,000 and 7,000

  9. CDC Publications and OA Talking Points – Testing and Diagnosis Patterns 1) CDPH/OA - Talking Points - Persons Tested for HIV - United States, 2006, Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, August 8, 2008 (PDF, New Window) Describes HIV testing patterns nationally and encourages adoption of 2006 CDC recommendations to increase HIV testing in Medical settings. 2) CDPH/OA Talking Points - Trends in HIV Diagnoses among Men Who Have Sex with Men - 33 States, 2001-2006, Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, June 27, 2008, (PDF, New Window) Describes stable or decreasing new HIV and AIDS diagnosis rates nationally among most behavioral risk groups, with the exception of men who have sex with men.

  10. Requirements for HIV Incidence Surveillance Remnant HIV+ Serum Supplemental Data STARHS Testing using BED Assay Testing and Treatment History HIV Incidence Estimation

  11. What Is STARHS? • Antibody-based laboratory testing method that allows CDC to identify, with reasonable probability, how many newly reported HIV infections in any given population are recent • i.e., within the previous 6 -12 months

  12. Key Non-Health Department Partners • Providers: • Ensure new patient records include testing and treatment history (TTH) • First positive HIV Test • Last negative HIV test • Exposure to antiretroviral medication • Facilitate completion of HIV/AIDS case report form when new case is ascertained • Labs: • Ship remnant serum samples to central facility for STARHS testing

  13. Key Health Department Partners • Local Health Departments • Collect core surveillance variables and TTH data through receipt from providers and active surveillance • Office of AIDS • Raise awareness and interest • Guidance, technical support and monitoring • Data management and transfer to CDC • Complete California incidence estimation

  14. Second Surveillance Stakeholder meeting Web-CMR and eHARS HIV Incidence Surveillance Partner Services

  15. 1st Surveillance Stakeholder Meetings 1st: April 9-10, 2008 Purpose: Provide opportunity for consensus-building discussion regarding current and future HIV reporting policies and regulations Attendees: LHDs (incl. CCLAD, CCLHO) Surveillance coordinators Laboratory directors Health care providers Service organizations serving HIV-positive patients Advocates

  16. Outcomes and Next Steps Workgroup #1: Data Transmission Issues Workgroup #2: Centralized Laboratory Reporting Workgroup #3: Considerations Regarding Possible Uses of HIV/AIDS Data for Public Health Purposes eg Partner Services, case management Next Meeting December 3, 2008
