HIV Surveillance Data Tables

HIV Surveillance Data Tables

COVID-19 has affected nearly every facet of our daily lives. The pandemic has also disrupted HIV testing services and clinic attendance making the interpretation of surveillance data more complex in 2020. For these reasons, provisional HIV surveillance data tables will not be released this month. The HIV data tables will be issued in May 2022, when the full reports that provide commentary and contextual information will be published (2020 HIV Surveillance Report and HIV Surveillance Supplemental Report: Monitoring HIV Prevention and Care Outcomes Using Surveillance Data, 2020). Because of the disruptions in testing and clinical services, some derived estimates based on these data (e.g., incidence, knowledge of status) will not be possible for 2020.

HIV Surveillance Data Tables are based on data from CDC’s National HIV Surveillance System. The Data Tables format allows for expedited release of surveillance data, improving its timeliness and utility to better equip HIV prevention programs with tools to help identify and address gaps in HIV prevention and facilitate resource allocation.
