Table: S
Site Information
A site is a facility or non-facility based setting (e.g. park, street corner), which serves as a point of service delivery. If an agency has multiple
sites, this table is completed for each site. However, if an agency has multiple sites with the same zip code that are of the same site type, the
agency may use a single site name and ID for the encompassing locations. For example, a mobile van that rotates to several sites within the
same zip code.

XSD (Schema) Name: siteId
Format Type: Alpha-Numeric
Min Length: 1
Max Length:

Definition:
A unique code used to distinguish the locations where an agency delivers the HIV prevention service. A site ID is linked to the
site type and the site zip code, and is unique to an agency. For Partner services (PS) the Site ID distinguishes between the
agency site locations and should identify the locality where the PS case is assigned (i.e, the county health department).
Instructions:
Indicate the unique ID that will be used to link prevention services delivered by a particular agency to a specific geographic
area and type of setting. If using EvaluationWeb for direct key entry, this ID may be generated for you.
If a mobile van is used, an agency may assign the same ID to sites that are of the same type AND located within the same
zip code (e.g., all churches in 39126).
Business rules Required for HIV testing, partner services and non-testing non-partner services.
The agency defined in Table A must also be a site defined in Table S.

Instructions:
Select the site type from the list provided that best represents the setting and/or primary type of services offered at this site of
service delivery. You can only choose one site type.
