Program Description
Local health departments receive funding based on the number of reported HIV/AIDS cases. These funds are used for prevention planning and for medical and social services for people with HIV.
Our unit helps health officials understand HIV's effect on San Francisco and guides policy decisions and prevention efforts by
- Tracking how many people have HIV/AIDS in San Francisco and reporting any new cases
- Monitoring the morbidity and mortality of persons with HIV/AIDS
- Analyzing and providing data to identify trends and target resources in San Francisco
Notice to Health Care Providers and Others Responsible for Disease Reporting: California Code of Regulations, Title 17, Section 2500 and Section 2643.5 require that all diagnosed cases of AIDS and HIV as defined by CDC must be reported within seven (7) days to the Health Officer. To obtain information on the CDC HIV/AIDS case definition or reporting requirements, to obtain case report forms, or to report a case, contact the HIV Surveillance Unit at 628-217-6335. All reports are confidential.
