Résumé :

[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS GkpR0xlD. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Hurricane Katrina disrupted HIV/AIDS surveillance by invalidating the New Orleans, La, surveillance and population data on persons living with HIV/AIDS. We describes 2 methods-population return and HIV surveillance data-to estimate the return ofthe infected population to New Orleans. It is estimated that 58% to 64% of 7068 persons living with HIV/AIDS returned by summer 2006. Although developed for HIV planning, these methods could be used with other disease surveillance programs.
