monitoring of the morbi-mortality of the infection by HIV/AIDS, the
monitoring of behaviors related to the acquisition of the HIV infection
and the monitoring of the of antibodies anti-HIV determinations. But, to
present the maximum possible information, the Integrated System of
Surveillance (SIVES) not only includes the carried out projects directly
by the center, but that also incorporates information of others programs

of the General Directorate of Public Health, Technical Organ of
Drug-dependencies and Mortality Registry of Catalonia of the General
