The inertia set of a symmetric sign pattern $A$ is the set $i(A)=\lbrace i(B) \mid B=B^T \in Q(A)\rbrace $, where $i(B)$ denotes the inertia of real symmetric matrix $B$, and $Q(A)$ denotes the sign pattern class of $A$. In this paper, a complete characterization on the inertia set of the nonnegative symmetric sign pattern $A$ in which each diagonal entry is zero and all off-diagonal entries are positive is obtained. Further, we also consider the bound for the numbers of nonzero entries in the nonnegative symmetric sign patterns $A$ with zero diagonal that require unique inertia.
