Social Security has rewritten the listing for HIV effective January 17, 2017. The introduction to Listing Section 14 describing HIV is rewritten including changing the tests used for a definitive determination of HIV. The new introduction also allows persuasive physician diagnosis of HIV which can be with or without laboratory findings, and documentation of manifestation of HIV.
Prior listing 14.08 is repealed. New Listing 14.11 list requires specific documentation stated in introductory section 14.00F1 and one of eight conditions or criteria to meet the listing. The new listing no longer includes documented side effects, resulting infections and illnesses. Changes to the childrens listing mirror the adult listing changes.
