* Maryland and Massachusetts conduct HIV case surveillance using a unique identifier (UI) and attempt to conduct follow-up activities to fill gaps in the information received. Providers, hospitals, and labs in the other states in this column send health departments individual-level HIV data using a variety of non-name-based identifiers, such as initials, a date of birth, or a test number. These states generally do not conduct any follow-up activities on this HIV case information and have not evaluated the usefulness or completeness of their HIV reporting systems.
