TANZANIA HIVAIDS INDICATOR SURVEY 2003-2004

The 2003-04 Tanzania HIV/AIDS Indicator Survey (THIS) is the first population-based, comprehensive survey on HIV/AIDS to be carried out in Tanzania. The survey was initiated by the Tanzania Commission for AIDS (TACAIDS) with the purpose of getting national baseline data on the prevalence of HIV infection. The survey was not meant to replace the sentinel surveillance system undertaken by the Ministry of Health under its National AIDS Control Programme (NACP), but rather to form a basis for monitoring the national HIV/AIDS response.
