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.
This revision includes changes
to the questionnaire, consent forms, and estimated burden based on
past experience with the project. The overall burden has been
reduced.
