 AB    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.
