Abstract: Comprehensive surveillance is necessary for effective and efficient primary prevention as well as appropriate resource allocation for patient care. The surveillance of HIV-1 infections and AIDS in England and Wales is based upon voluntary confidential reporting by clinicians of AIDS cases and deaths in HIV-1 infected persons without AIDS, monitoring of named HIV-1 tests through laboratory reports and a special collaborative laboratory study. In addition an unlinked anonymous HIV-1 prevalence monitoring programme has been developed recently to provide a more accurate picture of the evolving epidemic.
