We compared health department-initiated partner notification at a single anonymous human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) test site in Denver to 13 confidential HIV test sites throughout Colorado over an 18-month period. The average number of named, notified, and counseled in-state partners was from 30 to 50% greater among confidential site index cases than anonymous site index cases, and the seropositivity rate in newly tested partners of confidential site index cases was more than twice the rate in partners of anonymous test site index cases. When analyses were restricted to gay/bisexual male index cases, the results were the same as for the total group. We recommend that state and local health departments collect data to evaluate and improve the delivery of partner notification services.
我们在18个月的时间里，将丹佛一个匿名的人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）检测点由卫生部门发起的性伴通知，与科罗拉多州其他13个保密的HIV检测点进行了比较。保密检测点的索引病例中，被指名、通知并接受咨询的州内性伴的平均数量，比匿名检测点的索引病例多30%至50%，保密检测点索引病例新检测性伴的血清阳性率是匿名检测点索引病例性伴的两倍多。当分析仅限于男同性恋/双性恋男性索引病例时，结果与总人群相同。我们建议州和地方卫生部门收集数据，以评估和改善性伴通知服务的提供情况。
