Publication of National HIV Serosurveillance Summary --
Results through 1990
CDC collaborates with state and local health departments,
other federal agencies, blood collection agencies, and medical
research institutions to conduct human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
seroprevalence surveys and studies in a variety of sentinel
populations. These activities constitute a serosurveillance network
to monitor the prevalence of HIV infection in the United States.
This "family" of surveys includes selected populations, including
persons at increased risk (e.g., persons attending drug-treatment
centers and sexually transmitted disease clinics) and broader
populations (e.g., applicants for military service and childbearing
women) (Figure 1).
