In October 1997, the staff of the New York State Department of Health's Anonymous HIV Counseling and Testing Program were mobilized to assist the Chautauqua County Department of Health to respond to an unprecedented demand for HIV counseling and testing. This demand followed the release of the name of an HIV-infected individual who was suspected of infecting 13 young women in Chautauqua County. This article reviews essential elements of New York's efforts to assist Chautauqua County in meeting increased demands for HIV counseling and testing services during the emergency response. New York's experience can help inform other jurisdictions that may encounter similar public health emergencies in the future.
1997年10月,纽约州卫生部匿名艾滋病毒咨询与检测项目的工作人员被动员起来,协助乔托夸县卫生部应对前所未有的艾滋病毒咨询与检测需求。这一需求是在一名艾滋病毒感染者的姓名被公布之后出现的,该感染者涉嫌在乔托夸县感染了13名年轻女性。本文回顾了纽约州在应急响应期间协助乔托夸县满足对艾滋病毒咨询与检测服务不断增加的需求所做努力的关键要素。纽约州的经验可为未来可能遇到类似公共卫生紧急情况的其他司法管辖区提供参考。
