Résumé :
|
[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS AmsHIR0x. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. HIV partner services can effectively reach populations with high HIV prevalence. However, located and notified sex and needle-sharing partners of persons infected with HIV often fail to test. Field testing may increase the proportion of notified partners who test for HIV. In 2008, New York City's health department incorporated field testing into partner services. After the introduction of field testing, the proportion of notified partners who tested for HIV rose from 52% to 76% (P<. hiv prevalence fell slightly among notified partners who accepted testing to p="82)," but we identified more than double the number of new positives vs all positive and negative results were received by person tested.>
