Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB

Project: Minority AIDS Initiative (MAI) Rapid HIV Testing Clinical
Information Form (OMB No. 0930-0295)--Revision
This request is for a three-year generic clearance to continue
rapid HIV testing data collection among 63 TCE-HIV Grantees and their
clients and the additional 11 MAI-HIV Grantees and their clients. The
primary purpose of the
[[Page 34961]]
MAI Rapid HIV Testing Clinical Information Form is to use a
standardized data collection instrument to fully capture essential
clinical information to enhance preventive services for those who test
HIV-negative and refer to quality treatment/medical care those who test
HIV-positive.
The aim of the project is to implement and increase rapid HIV
testing among racial and ethnic minorities and collect rapid HIV
testing data using the MAI Rapid HIV Testing Clinical Information Form.
To meet this requirement, all Grantees must offer their clients rapid
HIV preliminary antibody testing during outreach, pretreatment, or
program enrollment. In addition, rapid HIV testing may be made
available to the sexual and/or injection partners of clients. Grantees
must provide onsite rapid HIV testing in accordance with their
respective State and local requirements. If a client requests an off-
site rapid HIV test, the Grantee must provide a referral to a rapid HIV
testing site certified by the local health department.
Grantees are currently using the MAI Rapid HIV Testing Clinical
Information Form in the field to systematically collect information
from clients on demographics, previous rapid HIV test results,
substance use and sexual risk behaviors, current rapid HIV test
results, types of services received, and confirmatory HIV test result.
Once a client is offered a rapid HIV test, the Grantee staff completes
the MAI Rapid HIV Testing Clinical Information Form with the client
present and then enters the data into a secure Web site that allows for
real-time data submission.
The estimated annualized burden is summarized below.
