The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Panel on Antiretroviral Guidelines for Adults and Adolescents (the Panel) is a working group of the Office of AIDS Research Advisory Council (OARAC). The Panel recommends HLA-B*5701 testing prior to initiating abacavir therapy to reduce the risk of hypersensitivity reaction. HLA-B*5701-positive patients should not be prescribed abacavir, and the positive status should be recorded as an abacavir allergy in the patient?s medical record.
I would report ICD-9 CM code 796.4 and V14.8
