      We have purposefully omitted HIV-2 from the physician-level measures as it is exceedingly rare in the US and the treatment guidelines released by the CDC are for HIV-1 (see below). The only time we would include HIV-2 codes is if HIV is used as an exclusion.

      HIV (2.16.840.1.113883.3.464.1003.120.12.1003) does not include ICD-9-CM code 079.53. Is that an oversight or is there a particular reason?
