AIDS: REPORTABLE CONDITIONS ACCORDING TO THE 1999 SURVEILLANCE DEFINITION (ALL AGES)

Persons who are HIV infected and exhibit any of the following AIDS-defining clinical conditions should be reported as presumptive AIDS cases by physicians (and only by physicians). Maryland law requires that AIDS case reports include the patient's name. In contrast, only laboratories are to report laboratory evidence of HIV infection. For laboratory reporting of HIV infection, Maryland law prohibits reporting a patient's name; use the patient's Unique Identifier instead.
