If the results are positive and the patient is symptomatic, report B20 with codes for the HIV-related symptoms or diagnosis. The HIV counseling code (Z71.7) may be used if counseling is provided for patients with positive test results.
HIV: ICD-10 Dx. Coding. The HIV counseling code (Z71.7) may be used if counseling is provided for patients with positive test results. When a patient believes that he/she has been exposed to or has come into contact with the HIV virus, report Z20.6.
If the provider document without any symptoms like HIV positive, known HIV or HIV test positive, then we need to assign the Z21 code. In this case, the primary diagnosis code will be always O98.7_, followed by HIV (symptomatic-B20 or asymptomatic-Z21) and HIV related condition.
Should a patient with signs, symptoms or illness, or a confirmed HIV-related diagnosis be tested for HIV, code the signs and symptoms or the diagnosis. If the results are positive and the patient is symptomatic, report B20 with codes for the HIV-related symptoms or diagnosis.
If the results are negative, use code V65. 44, HIV counseling. If the results are positive, code V08, Asymptomatic HIV infection, should be used unless the patient has symptoms of HIV disease. If the test result is positive and the patient has an HIV-related illness, code 042, HIV disease, should be used.
Z11. 4 Encounter for screening for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
A negative result doesn't necessarily mean that you don't have HIV. That's because of the window period — the time between HIV exposure and when a test can detect HIV in your body.
The description for diagnosis code Z11. 4 is “Encounter for screening for human immunodeficiency virus [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.
ICD-10 code Z11. 3 for Encounter for screening for infections with a predominantly sexual mode of transmission is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
Nonreactive vs. A nonreactive result means that the fluid sample did not contain HIV antigens or antibodies that the test aims to react to at the time of testing. It can mean a person has tested negative for HIV. However, if an individual has a nonreactive result, it does not necessarily mean they do not have HIV.
The bottom line is that if you're living with HIV and have an undetectable viral load, you will still test positive for HIV if you get tested. But, this is expected, and doesn't mean that your treatment is not working or that you aren't undetectable.
A negative result means it's likely you are not infectious. But a negative test is not a guarantee you do not have COVID-19 and there's still a chance you may be infectious. You should follow advice on how to avoid catching and spreading the virus.

Sequencing. The proper sequencing for HIV depends on the reason for the admission or encounter. When a patient is admitted for an HIV-related condition, sequence B20 Human immunodeficiency virus [HIV] disease first, followed by additional diagnosis codes for all reported HIV-related conditions. Conditions always considered HIV-related include ...
In the inpatient setting, HIV is the only condition that must be confirmed to select the code. All other conditions documented as “probable,” suspected,” likely,” “questionable,” “probable,” or “still to rule out” are coded as if they exist in the inpatient setting. Dx. Sequencing. The proper sequencing for HIV depends on the reason for ...
HIV infection/illness is coded as a diagnosis only for confirmed cases. Confirmation does not require documentation of a positive blood test or culture for HIV; the physician’s diagnostic statement that the patient is HIV positive or has an HIV-related illness is sufficient.#N#In the inpatient setting, HIV is the only condition that must be confirmed to select the code.

Z71- Persons encountering health services for other counseling and medical advice , not elsewhere classified
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Z71.2 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Patients with inconclusive HIV serology, but no definitive diagnosis or manifestations of the illness, may be assigned code R75, Inconclusive laboratory evidence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
Patients with asymptomatic HIV infection status admitted (or presenting for a health care encounter) during pregnancy, childbirth, or the puerperium should receive only code O98.7-.
Categories B95 to B97 are codes that are assigned to identify the cause of diseases classified to other chapters and are to be used as an additional code to identify an organism. a. True b. False. True. Colonization means that MSSA or MSRA is present on or in the body without necessarily causing illness. a. True b.
For patients documented as having MRSA colonization, assign code Z22.322, Carrier or suspected carrier of Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
The coding of severe sepsis requires one code for the underlying systemic infection.
A code from subcategory R65.2, Severe sepsis, should not be assigned unless severe sepsis or an associated acute organ dysfunction is documented.
Dual-code assignment is mandatory for all bacterial infections.
Patient admitted for HIV-related condition: If a patient is admitted for an HIV-related condition, the principal diagnosis should be B20 followed by additional diagnosis codes for all reported HIV-related conditions.
Previously diagnosed HIV-related illness: Patients with any known prior diagnosis of an HIV-related illness should be coded to B20. Once a patient has developed an HIV-related illness, the patient should always be assigned code B20 on every subsequent admission/encounter.
A patient with AIDS is seen by her physician for severe dehydration. The final diagnosis by the physician is Samonella with dehydration. In this example the code for HIV would be sequenced last as it was not the reason for the encounter.
In this context, “confirmation” does not require documentation of positive serology or culture for HIV; the provider’s diagnostic statement that the patient is HIV positive or has an HIV-related illness is sufficient. 2) Selection and sequencing of HIV codes.
