HIV is Now Reportable by Name
HIV EPIDEMIOLOGY PROGRAM    

By State regulation, HIV infection has become a reportable condition in California. This requires laboratories, health care providers, and counseling and testing providers to report all cases of HIV infection to their local health department. This reporting requirement is necessary both to better monitor the epidemic and because future funding for local AIDS treatment and HIV prevention services will soon be allocated according to the number of HIV cases reported.

This HIV surveillance activity begins on July 1, 2002 using a non-name code. On  April 17, 2006, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed into law Senate Bill 699 (Soto), which requires health care providers and laboratories to report cases of HIV infection by name to local health departments. The new law requirements took effect immediately on April 17, 2006. 

Health care providers are responsible for providing the client's full name, date of birth, and gender when submitting laboratory requisitions for any test used to identify HIV, a component of HIV, or antibodies or antigens to HIV. 

The following documents can be downloaded for HIV reporting. If you would like to report an HIV case or have any questions retrieving these files, please call the HIV Reporting Help Desk at (213) 351-8516.
