Medical Surveillance Monthly Report. Volume 16, Number 8, August 2009

Abstract

Since October 1985, the U.S. military has conducted routine screening for antibodies to HIV-1 among civilian applicants for U.S. military service. Since 1986, all members of the active and reserve components of the U.S. Armed Forces have been periodically screened for antibodies to HIV-1. This report summarizes prevalences and trends of HIV-1 antibody seropositivity among civilian applicants for military service who have been screened since 1990. It also summarizes incident (first time per individual) diagnoses of HIV-1 antibody seropositivity among members of the active and reserve components of the Services.
