V74.5 for screenig

I agree, go with screening code V74.5.

I'd go with a "high risk sexual behavior" code for the office visit - along with the screening code(s) for the labs. (linked accordingly)

I'd go with the screening dx too. I would only use the "high risk" if there is documentation to support it in the patients record.
