Notification of sexual partners of HIV-infected individuals has become a focus of debate at local, state, and national levels. Issues of confidentiality and ethical concerns continue to pose challenges to state and local health departments addressing this issue. We conducted a telephone survey with physicians in Syracuse, New York to ascertain opinions about HIV partner notification and the role of public health agencies in that notification process. In general, physicians mostly relied upon the HIV-infected individuals to notify their own partners but were supportive of enhanced efforts regarding partner notification.
通知艾滋病毒感染者的性伴侣已成为地方、州和国家层面的争论焦点。保密问题和伦理问题继续给处理这一问题的州和地方卫生部门带来挑战。我们对纽约州锡拉丘兹市的医生进行了一项电话调查，以确定他们对艾滋病毒伴侣通知以及公共卫生机构在该通知过程中所起作用的看法。总体而言，医生大多依赖艾滋病毒感染者自行通知其伴侣，但支持在伴侣通知方面加大力度。
