Abstract: The primary objective of NHBS-BHBA is to conduct mixed-methods behavioral surveillance among populations at high risk for HIV in selected geographic areas of interest to assess: 1) risk behaviors and social determinants of health for HIV infection, 2) HIV testing behaviors and treatment, 3) HIV seroprevalence and incidence, and 4) exposure to, use of, and impact of HIV prevention services. Through this project, funded state health departments for NHBS-BHBA will work with local entities to collect surveillance data to understand HIV risk, especially in areas or populations with limited information.
