Wiki How to Code this Simple Co-Infection?

[Shert]

This seems like it would be extremely easy, but I can't figure it out. How should I code HIV with Syphylis coinfection? That's it.

HIV with AIDS, Syphilis is unspecified.

How does one code this....accurately? My brain hurts.

Need a little more information on the HIV, there is guidelines on how to code HIV

Please see ICD10 CM Official Guidelines for coding and reporting.
ICD10-CM 2022 see page 6, C. Chapter - Specific coding Guidelines

OOPS.. sorry

You haven't given any more information than you shared in the original post.

The previous poster gave you the incorrect link to the guidelines - try this one: https://www.cms.gov/files/document/fy-2022-icd-10-cm-coding-guidelines-updated-02012022.pdf

The guidance on HIV coding is on page 19. At least give it a try first and let us know what you're thinking it should be.
