National HIV Behavioral Surveillance Project
About Us
The National HIV Behavioral Surveillance (NHBS) is a comprehensive system for bio-behavioral surveillance conducted since 2003 in populations with high burden of HIV. NHBS collects data on behavioral risk factors for HIV (e.g., sexual behaviors, drug use), HIV testing behaviors, receipt of prevention services, and use of prevention strategies (e.g., condoms, PrEP). NHBS conducts HIV surveillance in 23 cities across the country. Here in Boston, The Massachusetts Department of Public Health is piloting a short new 20-minute quantitative survey. For this round, we hope to survey LGBTQ individuals of color in the Boston area.
