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.

Site ID
Format Type: Alpha-Numeric

Min Length: 1

Max Length: 32

A unique alpha-numeric identification code used to distinguish the locations where an agency delivers the HIV prevention
service.
A site ID 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 alpha-numeric 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).

Definition:

Reimbursed aggregate test events are test events that are done in PS18-1802-supported programs, but are actually paid
for by a third-party payer (e.g., Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance). They are attributable to PS18-1802 because they
would likely not be done in the absence of the PS18-1802--supported program, but they are not directly paid for by PS181802- funds. Newly diagnosed HIV-positive test events include unconfirmed preliminary positive plus confirmed positive
test events.

Instructions:

Enter the total number of reimbursed aggregate newly diagnosed HIV-positive testing events conducted during the
reporting period.
