HIV: Data

HIV data reports available on this page are based on the reporting of HIV case information.

Wisconsin Stat. § 252.15 requires HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) cases to be reported to the state epidemiologist confidentially.

Case reports must be submitted by:

• Private or health care providers.
• Hospitals.
• Clinics.
• Ambulatory care facilities.
• Sexually transmitted disease clinics.
• Family planning clinics.
• Perinatal clinics.
• Tribal health clinics.
• Blood and plasma centers.
• The correctional system.
• Military entrance processing stations.
• Laboratories that perform HIV testing.

Laboratories that perform confidential HIV testing must report both the names of the people who test positive and the names of the clinicians who order the test. Clinicians also must report the names of people who test positive for HIV. This helps identify people who are living with HIV in Wisconsin.

HIV case information is also collected through:

• The AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome)/HIV Drug Assistance Program and AIDS/HIV Insurance Assistance Program
• The vital records death certificate registry
• The tuberculosis registry

If you have any HIV data needs, email Yi Ou at Yi.Ou@dhs.wisconsin.gov, HIV Surveillance Supervisor.
