Abstract
The Yale-hosted conference, "New Approaches to HIV Surveillance: Means and Ends," is now over two years old; it is time for the public health and AIDS community to move beyond the debate on name reporting and focus on rethinking what we need from surveillance and how we might best get it. Rethinking the role and methods of surveillance is critical for HIV; but it will also show the way for public health in general.
