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. It is a supplemental surveillance project designed to describe the health-related behaviors, experiences and needs of adults diagnosed with HIV in the United States. It's intended use is to guide national and local HIV-related service organization and delivery and to monitor receipt of HIV treatment and prevention services and clinical outcomes.
