STI/HIV Surveillance
The STI/HIV
Surveillance Program conducts surveillance and research to characterize and track STI/HIV
infections in Colorado.
There
are three units within this program: 1) STI/HIV Surveillance, 2) HIV
Incidence, 3) STI/HIV Registry. The
program ensures compliance with and completeness of STI/HIV reporting,
investigates HIV cases with no identified risk, provides blood borne
pathogen information to first responders, health care workers, law
enforcement and corrections personnel, and conducts HIV incidence and
prevalence studies.
The
Registry Unit collects, compiles and disseminates information on gonorrhea,
syphilis, chlamydia, and HIV infection, and contacts health care providers
to ensure that clients receive adequate treatment. Staff identifies disease outbreaks and coordinates the response by
CDPHE, collaborating agencies, and health care providers. The
program synthesizes data from multiple sources to develop annual Colorado
STI/HIV epidemiological profiles.
These
reports are used to inform and guide the state STI/HIV programs, and are
disseminated to care providers, local health departments, community planning
groups, researchers and the public.
The following reports from this program are available:
