What is EIIHA?
Early Identification of Individuals with HIV/AIDS
(EIIHA):
Identifying, counseling, testing, informing, and referring
of diagnosed and undiagnosed individuals to
appropriate services, as well as linking newly diagnosed
HIV positive individuals to care.
Definitions
Unaware of HIV Status:
Any individual who has NOT been tested for
HIV in the past 12-months, any individual who
has NOT been informed of their HIV result (HIV
positive or HIV negative), and any HIV
positive individual who has NOT been informed
of their confirmatory HIV result.
Definitions
Identification of Individuals Unaware of
Their HIV Status:
The categorical breakdown of the overall
unaware population into subgroups, which allow
for the overall EIIHA strategy to be customized
based on the needs of each subgroup, for the
purposes of identifying, counseling, testing,
informing, referring, and linking these
individuals into care.
Definitions
Informing individuals of their HIV status:
 Informing an HIV negative individual, post-test,
of their appropriate HIV screening result
 Informing an HIV positive individual, post-test,
of their confirmatory HIV result
Definitions
Referral to care/services:
The provision of timely, appropriate, and preestablished guidance to an individual that is
designed to refer him/her to a specific
care/service provider for the purpose of accessing
care/services after the individual has been
informed of their HIV status (positive or negative).
Definitions
Linkage to care:
The post-referral verification that
care/services were accessed by an HIV
positive individual being referred into care.
Example: Confirmation first scheduled
care appointment occurred.

EIIHA vs. Unmet Need
 Definition Comparison
Unmet Need Definition: HIV+ individuals who
are AWARE of their HIV status but not in primary
medical care
EIIHA Definition: HIV+ individuals who are
UNAWARE of their HIV status, and, therefore,
not in primary medical care
