CDC has currently implemented two indicators to monitor progress towards achieving Goal 2. The first indicator is “the percentage of HIV-positive test results from publicly-funded counseling and testing sites with post-test counseling sessions.” The most recent data for this indicator from 2003 show that 71% had post-test counseling sessions. The second indicator is “the percentage of HIV cases diagnosed before progression to AIDS.” The most recent data for this indicator from 2004 show that 78% of persons were diagnosed with HIV before progression to AIDS.

* The baseline estimate of 70% for Goal 2 was based on modeling methods that yield broad-based estimates that cannot measure year-to-year changes with confidence. As a surrogate indicator for which year-to-year changes are available, we use persons who already have AIDS at the time they are initially diagnosed with HIV.
Trends in the percentage of HIV cases that are diagnosed before AIDS should parallel the trends in the proportion of HIV-infected persons who know their serostatus, and therefore, this is a useful indicator of progress toward Goal 2. Similar to Goal 1, the data are only currently available from the 30 states with
longstanding confidential HIV reporting.
