Social networks can be leveraged to identify undiagnosed HIV-infected individuals. The NC-LINK clinic-based testing initiative utilized these networks to achieve a 5% (95% CI 1.1-8.9%) positivity rate by providing free HIV testing to anyone who accompanied an HIV-infected patient to their clinic appointment. During 2013-2015, 120 individuals were tested at two clinics (N > 1000 patients each) in North Carolina, with 5 new and 6 total positive results. Of these, three linked to care within 30 days and all within 365 days. If expanded further, this initiative could significantly increase the number of HIV-infected individuals aware of their status.
社交网络可用于发现未确诊的 HIV 感染者。NC-LINK 基于诊所的检测计划利用这些网络，通过为任何陪同 HIV 感染者就诊的人提供免费 HIV 检测，将阳性率提高到 5%（95%CI 1.1-8.9%）。在 2013-2015 年期间，北卡罗来纳州的两家诊所（每家诊所的患者人数都超过 1000 人）共对 120 人进行了检测，其中发现了 5 例新的和 6 例总计的阳性结果。其中 3 例在 30 天内联系到了护理人员，所有病例都在 365 天内联系到了护理人员。如果进一步扩大，该计划可以显著增加意识到自身 HIV 感染状况的人数。
