Human immunodef virus disease comp preg, third trimester

This code signifies a confirmed diagnosis of HIV infection that is actively causing symptoms or complications in a pregnant patient during her third trimester. It indicates that the HIV disease itself is impacting the pregnancy, rather than simply a co-occurring, asymptomatic HIV status.

Apply this code when documentation clearly states active HIV disease (e.g., AIDS, opportunistic infections, or other HIV-related complications) in a pregnant patient who is beyond 28 weeks gestation. This code is appropriate when the provider explicitly links the HIV disease to the current pregnancy management or complications.

• Always sequence this code first when the HIV complication is the primary reason for the encounter.
• Do not use this code for asymptomatic HIV infection during pregnancy; refer to codes in category O98.7- for those scenarios.
• Ensure documentation specifies "third trimester" and active "HIV disease" to support its use.
