experiences of persons at highest risk
for HIV infection.
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention requests a three-year
approval for a revised information
collection. Data will be collected
through anonymous, in-person
interviews conducted with persons
systematically selected from up to 14
cities throughout the United States;
these MSAs were chosen based on
having high HIV prevalence. A brief
screening interview will be used to
determine eligibility for participation in
the behavioral assessment. Participants
will be recruited through respondentdriven sampling, a scientifically proven
recruitment strategy for reaching
hidden, hard-to-reach, or stigmatized
populations. Interview data will be
recorded on secure portable computers,
without internet connections. Data will
be transferred to secure, encrypted data
servers. Data will be stored at CDC and
shared with local health departments in
accordance with existing data use
HIV, and (3) use of HIV prevention
services. All persons interviewed will
also be offered an HIV test and will
participate in a pre-test counseling
session. No other federal agency
systematically collects this type of
information from persons at risk for HIV
infection. These data have substantial
impact on prevention program
development and monitoring at the
local, state, and national levels.
The burden table below shows the
estimated annualized burden hours for
the participants’ time. Annually, 1,540
participants will complete an eligibility
screener (an average of 5 minutes to
complete), 1,400 participants will
complete the Behavioral Assessment (an
average of 40 minutes to complete), and
1,400 will complete the Recruiter
Debriefing Form (an average of two
minutes to complete). The total
estimated annualized burden is 1,110
hours. Participation of respondents is
voluntary. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time.

Surveillance Data. Data will be
disseminated in aggregate through
academic and agency publications,
presentations, and reports. All required
data collection and activities will be
anonymous.
Personally identifiable information
(PII) is not included in the data
collection. The CDC Privacy Officer has
assessed this package for applicability of
5 U.S.C. 552a. The Privacy Act is not
applicable because PII is not being
collected under this CDC funded
activity. The NHBS-Trans formative
interview and optional HIV testing are
anonymous (neither names nor Social
Security numbers are collected). Data
that will be collected through NHBSTrans, while sensitive, are not
personally identifying. The data from
the behavioral assessment will provide
estimates of (1) behavior related to the
risk of HIV and other sexually
transmitted diseases, (2) prior testing for
