SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The single source award will support the collection of comprehensive clinical and behavioral information from persons carefully sampled to represent everyone diagnosed with HIV in the U.S. The data are collected through in-person or telephone interviews with participants and a two-year medical chart abstraction for all persons who have been in care. MMP produces nationally representative data on important sociodemographic, behavioral, and clinical characteristics among PWH in the U.S. MMP reports essential data on barriers to care and viral suppression, including social determinants of health and indicators of quality of life among PWH that are used to plan and monitor state and local HIV programs, inform national HIV clinical guidelines and assess national progress towards meeting the goals of the National HIV/ AIDS Strategy for the United States PO 00000 Frm 00058 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 2022–2025, the Ending the HIV Epidemic in the United States (EHE) initiative, the HIV Care Continuum, and CDC’s High-Impact Prevention (HIP) approach. The 23 previously listed state, local and territorial health departments are in a unique position to conduct this work as (1) they are the only entities with legal authority to mandate the collection of public health surveillance data in their jurisdictions, (2) they can continue monitoring and reporting MMP data without lapse and (3) their selection can ensure adherence to the project’s established scientific sampling strategy that ensures the national representativeness of MMP data.
