Abstract: The Medical Monitoring Project (MMP) was designed to address the need for a national behavioral and clinical surveillance system for HIV-infected persons, as articulated in CDC's HIV Prevention Strategic Plan. The primary objective of MMP is to conduct behavioral and clinical surveillance among a probability sample of persons with HIV infection in the United States in order to assess prevalence of and trends in: 1) risk behaviors for HIV transmission, 2) HIV care and treatment, and 3) exposure to, use of, and impact of HIV prevention services. Through MMP, CDC works with state and local health departments to obtain HIV-related behavioral and clinical data through confidential interviews and medical record abstractions.

Burden increases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Changing Forms

Short Statement: Due to proposed changes in sampling methods, the burden has decreased by 1,397 hours (see Exhibit 12.A). Specifically, because MMP will sample directly from HIV/AIDS surveillance program records instead of from facility sampling frames, facility staff will no longer be asked to provide estimated HIV patient loads and patient lists. Changes to the proposed project are fully described in section A.1 "Circumstances Making the Collection of Information Necessary."
