Does first date of service in the Client Report mean the first HIV-related service?
Not necessarily. The date of first service visit is the date the client first received a service at your agency, regardless of the reason. It may or may not be the clients first HIV-related visit or their first Ryan White Program-funded visit. The clients date of first service visit DOES NOT change. As stated on page 29 of the Instruction Manual v1.3 (available at http://careacttarget.org/library/rsr/RSR_Manual_v1-3_2-19-09.pdf), you are not expected to resort to unreasonable measures to locate this information in your files. If you are unable to identify the first date of service, please report the earliest date available in your records.
