Description

Definition

HIVBLOODTEST (V473b) indicates whether the person's blood was drawn and tested for HIV antibodies or, if not, why the person's blood was not tested. All "no" responses have a common first digit of "2," while the second digit reveals the reason (e.g., consent refused, blood sample insufficient or damaged).
