The data elements listed below include data elements for adult/adolescent case reports (ACRF), pediatric case reports (PCRF), and supplemental data collected in some areas
for HIV incidence surveillance (HIS), Molecular HIV Surveillance (MHS) and perinatal HIV exposure reporting (PHER). Data are stored in tables in the enhanced HIV Reporting
System (eHARS). Information in the table below reflects eHARS v4.7.1. The column “Transfer to CDC” indicates whether or not the data collected in a variable are transmitted
to CDC. The column “Required/Optional” indicates whether a variable is: (1) a program requirement for collection (Required); some variables are required only for HIS or MHS
and those have additional notation; (2) optional for program collection (Optional) , which may include variables that are CDC recommended for collection but collection is
optional; (3) generated by the eHARS system from entered values of other variables and is optional to collect (Optional-System); (4) generated by the eHARS system (System);
(5) retired from collection in eHARS (Retired); (6) retained from the previous case surveillance system and is not collected in eHARS (Legacy HARS); or (7) retained from the
previous incidence surveillance system and is not collected in eHARS (Legacy Incidence). Additional information for users can be found in the eHARS 4.7.1 Technical Reference
Guide.
