HIV/AIDS Surveillance Data Base
Current Version: June 2003
Background Information
Information on the AIDS pandemic and on the HIV seroprevalence (infection) in population
groups in developing countries is only available in widely scattered small-scale surveys.
The HIV/AIDS Surveillance Data Base was developed and is maintained by the
Health Studies Branch, International Programs Center (IPC),
Population Division, U.S. Bureau of the Census, with funds from the U.S. Agency for
International Development. It is a compilation of information from those studies appearing
in the medical and scientific literature, presented at international conferences, and
appearing in the press. The data base was developed on the microcomputer for portability
and has a user-friendly interface. Available information for population groups in a selected
country can be easily retrieved and displayed on the computer screen, printed in tabular
format, or saved to an ASCII or Lotus file.The data base is updated twice a year. The
International Programs Center welcomes comments and suggestions from users of the data base.
IPC also welcomes copies of articles or references to information which may have been
overlooked.
