Background and Purpose
Since the publication of the CDC HIV Prevention Strategic Plan Through 2005, CDC has identified 10 performance indicators to measure and monitor the progress of the overarching national goal and four domestic goals of the
Plan. In addition, CDC monitors and measures its progress regarding activities to achieve the goals and objectives in the
Plan. CDC has realigned prevention programs; conducted research to identify and disseminate interventions that are scientifically effective, have been formally evaluated, and shown to reduce the risk of HIV transmission; implemented a national, population-based incidence surveillance system as a supplement to HIV and AIDS case surveillance activities; and launched a new initiative that supports the HIV prevention work of the past two decades.
This Summary Document highlights selected activities that address the overarching national and four domestic goals, and presents a summary analysis of the current performance data for the goal indicators, and assesses the overall impact of CDC efforts in achieving the
Plan’s goals.
