English Abstract A report is given of the implementation of computer
sofware for the anonymous surveillance of laboratory diagnostics for
HIV-infection. Data obtained are person-oriented, region-specific, and
available both for seropositives and seronegatives. Double counts can be
avoided. Problems in the implementation phase are discussed. For the
interpretation of the data and the detection, the interpretation and the
follow-up of trends essential data on the indication for laboratory
diagnostics are lacking. The conditions have been created to collect these
data from January 1, 1990. For effective surveillance of HIV infections
these activities will be supplemented with surveys on the spread of HIV and
related risk factors in specific groups.
