Collection of data from patient medical records will provide information on: Demographics and insurance status; the prevalence and incidence of AIDS-defining opportunistic illnesses and comorbidities related to HIV disease; the receipt of prophylactic and antiretroviral medications; and whether patients are receiving screening and treatment according to Public Health Service guidelines. No other Federal agency collects national populationbased behavioral and clinical information from HIV-infected adults in care. The data will have significant implications for policy, program development, and resource allocation at the State/local and national levels. CDC is requesting approval for a 3year clearance for data collection. Data will be collected by 26 Reporting Areas (19 States, Puerto Rico and 6 separately funded cities). CDC estimates an average of 400 respondents per site with an 80% response rate, resulting in 8,320 respondents for the interview portion. A Short interview will be used for patients who are too ill to complete the Standard interview or when the interview must be translated, and a Proxy interview will be available if the patient consents to having a family member or other person answer the questions in the case of severe illness or in the event the selected participant died prior to being interviewed. The proxy and the short interview, each which will be used on approximately 2% of patients, will take approximately 20 minutes. Participation of respondents is voluntary and there is no cost to the respondents other than their time.
