Since the height of HIV incidence in the mid-1980s, advances in treatment have delayed progression of HIV infection. As a result, surveillance of AIDS cases alone is no longer sufficient to monitor the current status of the HIV epidemic. At the national level, new HIV diagnoses and progression of these cases to AIDS are used to describe the epidemic. The capacity to monitor the national HIV epidemic has consistently improved over the last several years. An increasing number of states report diagnosed HIV cases to the national surveillance system, allowing data from this system to better represent the national picture. Monitoring the national HIV epidemic depends on a nationwide system using standardized methods of data collection, and establishing such a comprehensive system remains one of the highest priorities for national HIV case surveillance.
自20世纪80年代中期艾滋病病毒感染率达到高峰以来，治疗方面的进展延缓了艾滋病病毒感染的进程。因此，仅对艾滋病病例进行监测已不足以监控当前艾滋病病毒流行的状况。在国家层面，新增艾滋病病毒诊断病例以及这些病例发展为艾滋病的情况被用于描述疫情。在过去几年中，监测全国艾滋病病毒流行情况的能力一直在持续提高。越来越多的州向国家监测系统报告已诊断的艾滋病病毒病例，使得该系统的数据能更好地反映全国情况。监测全国艾滋病病毒流行情况依赖于一个采用标准化数据收集方法的全国性系统，建立这样一个综合系统仍然是国家艾滋病病毒病例监测的首要任务之一。
