Asymptomatic HIV infection status is reported with the code Z21, which indicates that the patient is HIV-positive but without any signs or symptoms of the disease. Option A (B20) refers to symptomatic HIV infection, while option B (B21) refers to HIV disease with specified conditions. Option C (Z11.4) is used for screening for HIV and does not indicate the patient's infection status. Therefore, the best choice is D (Z21).
