Background:

The scope of the HIV and AIDS Reporting Data Set is all PATIENTS who are newly diagnosed with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) or newly transferred to other Health Care Providers.

NHS Health Care Providers are required to generate the HIV and AIDS Reporting Data Set.

Secondary analyses of aggregate outputs from the HIV and AIDS Reporting Data Set will be used to:
