Complete and accurate HIV/AIDS and Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) reporting by healthcare providers and laboratories is critical in order to monitor disease burden and track changes in these diseases in Texas. Texas law mandates the reporting of HIV/AIDS and STD by both healthcare providers and laboratories and the Texas Administrative Code, Chapters 97.131-97.134 specifies the reporting process for HIV/AIDS, syphilis, gonorrhea, chancroid, and chlamydia. Communicable disease reporting is exempt from HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996).
Failure to report a notifiable condition is a Class B Misdemeanor under Texas Health and Safety Code Section 81.049 and carries legal liability in case of an infectious disease outbreak.
Title 45 of HIPAA Federal Code, Section 164.512 allows for reporting of notifiable conditions to the local Health Authority without the express consent of patients for the purposes of Public Health investigations.
The Texas Adult HIV/AIDS Confidential Case Report Form and the Texas Pediatric HIV/AIDS Confidential Case Report Form (<13 years of age at the time of diagnosis) are the forms used to report a new HIV/AIDS case.
Notifiable Condition Report Form
Do not use the Faxable S-27 form to report HIV or AIDS cases. (see form below).
The Texas Pediatric HIV/AIDS Confidential Case Report Form is used to report children less than 13 years of age with HIV infection or AIDS, or for infants that may have been prenatally exposed, but are considered HIV indeterminate due to maternal antibodies. Case report forms should be completed for each child born to an HIV-infected mother (i.e. prenatally HIV exposed).
Lab-confirmed cases of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), including Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) must be reported to El Paso Department of Public Health (EPDPH) within seven calendar days. Especially cases of pregnancy in a person chronically infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, including acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), and children associated with these cases are required to be reported.
