CCO Admin asked:
Can anyone tell me where I can find the list of the AIDS defining symptoms in the ICD-10-CM manual?
Thank you in advance.

For a symptom without confirmation or mention of HIV; then the visit would be coded with those symptoms or disease confirmation. Here is a list of them from the CDC if you needed one <https://www.cdc.gov/MMWR/PREVIEW/MMWRHTML/rr5710a2.htm>
