The data elements listed below include data elements for adult/adolescent case reports (ACRF), pediatric case reports (PCRF), HIV incidence surveillance information (no
longer collected), laboratory test data, investigation reporting and evaluation information and supplemental data collected from other document types such as birth
certificates (BC), and death certificates (DEATH_DOC). Data are stored in tables in the enhanced HIV Reporting System (eHARS). Information in the table below reflects
information in the version of eHARS currently in place, v4.12, along with proposed changes to be implemented in eHARS v4.13 in 2023. 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); (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 4.12 Technical Reference Guide for
variables in the current version of eHARS; additional information about proposed changes to be implemented in eHARS v4.13 can be found in the Summary of Proposed
Changes document.
