National AIDS Control Organisation (NACO) identified five regional institutes (RIs) to monitor and supervise the 2006 round of annual HIV sentinel surveillance. The task mandated was quality control of both epidemiological data collection and HIV testing. The team at RI consisted of epidemiologist and microbiologist. We describe here the process of quality control and the quality of surveillance in the states of Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Bihar, Jharkand, and Delhi. The supervisors visited almost 90% of the sentinel sites. Performance of vast majority of the sentinel sites (92%) was satisfactory. The testing laboratories were found to be adhering to standard operating procedures. Concordance rate of test results between testing laboratory and the designated reference laboratory was high. Overall, the quality of sentinel surveillance was good. The lacunae found during the visit have been enumerated along with the recommendations for future surveillance round.
国家艾滋病控制组织（NACO）指定了五个区域机构（RIs）来监测和监督2006年一轮的年度艾滋病毒哨点监测。所承担的任务是对流行病学数据收集和艾滋病毒检测进行质量控制。区域机构的团队由流行病学家和微生物学家组成。我们在此描述北方邦、北阿坎德邦、比哈尔邦、贾坎德邦和德里邦的质量控制过程及监测质量。监督员走访了近90%的哨点。绝大多数哨点（92%）的表现令人满意。发现检测实验室遵守标准操作程序。检测实验室与指定参考实验室之间的检测结果一致性很高。总体而言，哨点监测质量良好。走访期间发现的不足之处已一一列出，并给出了对未来监测轮次的建议。
