A recent article published online in the Journal of AHIMA makes some important clarifications on coding for HIV and AIDS in ICD-10. Z21 – Asymptomatic human immunodeficiency virus [HIV] infection status While both codes mention “human immunodeficiency virus [HIV],” the disease is only included in B20 and infection is only included in Z21.
If HIV patient met with an accident and admits the hospital then it’s an unrelated condition, in this case the primary diagnosis code will be unrelated condition, secondary diagnoses code will HIV (B20) and followed by any HIV related condition. The sequencing of code will be in below order.
A patient with AIDS developed Encephalitis as a manifestation of AIDS and is seen in the office for encephalitis ICD 10 code is B20, G05.3
Human immunodeficiency virus [HIV] disease (exact match) This is the official exact match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that in all cases where the ICD9 code 042 was previously used, B20 is the appropriate modern ICD10 code.
The reason for the admission or encounter determines the proper sequencing for HIV. If a patient is admitted for an HIV-related condition, B20 Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease should be sequenced first, followed by additional diagnosis codes for all reported HIV-related conditions.
ICD-10 Coding: Diagnosis of B20 (HIV)
Following ICD-10 guidelines, if a patient has or has had an HIV related condition, use B20 AIDS. If the patient has a positive HIV status, without symptoms or related conditions, use Z21.

A prodromal phase of infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (hiv).
