Inconclusive laboratory evidence of human immunodeficiency virus [HIV]
ICD-10 R75 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of inconclusive laboratory evidence of human immunodeficiency virus [hiv].
The ICD-10 code R75 is designated for cases where there is inconclusive laboratory evidence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). This category is primarily used when diagnostic tests for HIV yield ambiguous results, which may necessitate further testing or clinical evaluation to confirm the presence or absence of the virus. Conditions covered under this code include situations where initial serological tests indicate potential exposure to HIV but do not provide definitive evidence of infection. It is crucial for healthcare providers to recognize the importance of follow-up testing and patient monitoring in these cases to ensure accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.

R75 includes cases where laboratory tests for HIV are inconclusive, indicating potential exposure but not confirming infection. This may involve ambiguous serological test results or indeterminate results that require further evaluation.
R75 should be used when a patient presents with inconclusive laboratory evidence of HIV, necessitating further testing or clinical evaluation. It is important to document the context and rationale for using this code.
Documentation for R75 should include the results of laboratory tests, clinical findings, risk factors for HIV, and a plan for follow-up testing or patient management to ensure comprehensive care.
