The investigators are conducting a study to learn more about the spread of HIV infection
within different geographic regions and populations in San Diego County, with the goal of
demonstrating that early use of HIV treatment can reduce the number of new infections in our
community. At the study visits, participants will be examined by the study staff and asked to
donate some blood. Participants will also be asked several questions about themselves, their
background, behaviors, health, and the general geographic area in which they live. By
collecting information about antiretroviral treatment choices that are made by study
participants, the investigators will be better able to measure how effectively HIV treatment
can interrupt (i.e., block) the spread of HIV. All of the information gathered at the study
visits will be de-identified and analyzed. Study staff will use the information to better
understand in which groups of people, and in what areas of San Diego, HIV is spreading most
quickly. This information will be used to determine how well Antiretroviral Therapy (HIV
treatment) by certain individuals can control the spread of HIV within the population.
