The Division, part of CDC's National Center for Infectious Diseases (NCID), was established in 1995 to centralize CDC's laboratory studies on human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), other retroviruses, other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), and mycobacteria, including Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The Division also conducts CDC's epidemiologic and laboratory studies of hemophilia and other coagulation disorders and assists in the development of prevention and educational activities for persons with bleeding disorders. In addition, the Division provides laboratory support for the surveillance, epidemiologic, and clinical activities of CDC's National Center for HIV, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHSTP); provides reference laboratory services for state and local health departments; and serves as a World Health Organization Collaborating Center on HIV infection and AIDS.
