Forms and Requirements for Data Collection and Submission
All routine HIV screening required data files should be uploaded into the Texas Public Health Information Network (TXPHIN), the DSHS-designated secure web portal. These data files contain protected health information (PHI) and should never be transmitted via email. All data files are due by the 20th of each month.
To obtain access, contractor staff will need to set up an account on the TXPHIN and request the role of Communicable/Infectious Disease Coordinator. To do this, carefully follow the account request instructions.
