Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Risk, Prevention, and Testing Behaviors--United States, National HIV Behavioral Surveillance System: Men Who Have Sex with Men, November 2003-April 2005

Abstract

NHBS data are used to assess and develop effective HIV-prevention programs and services. Continued collection and reporting of NHBS data from all targeted high-risk populations is needed to monitor behavior trends and assess future HIV prevention needs in these populations. The data are used for local HIV-prevention planning and monitoring in MSAs in which NHBS is conducted.
