The authors conducted formative research on the use of partner notification with HIV-infected drug users (i.e. those who use/abuse injectable drugs, crack or cocaine) in order to guide the development of an effective intervention for this population in New York City. Structured focus group and personal interviews were conducted with 25 in- and out-of-treatment drug users, 23 counsellors from a sexually transmitted disease (STD) clinic and a methadone maintenance treatment programme (MMTP), and nine experts in the field of HIV partner notification and/or substance abuse prevention and treatment. Results revealed factors associated with HIV-positive disclosure, the strengths and barriers of existing partner notification programmes and issues that should be considered in designing an effective intervention with HIV-infected drug users. Further research and planning activities are recommended before piloting and evaluating such a programme.
作者针对纽约市艾滋病毒感染吸毒者（即使用/滥用注射药物、强效可卡因或可卡因的人群）开展了关于伴侣通知使用情况的形成性研究，以指导针对该人群制定有效的干预措施。对25名正在接受治疗和未接受治疗的吸毒者、一家性传播疾病（STD）诊所和一个美沙酮维持治疗项目（MMTP）的23名咨询师以及9名艾滋病毒伴侣通知和/或药物滥用预防与治疗领域的专家进行了结构化焦点小组访谈和个人访谈。结果揭示了与艾滋病毒阳性披露相关的因素、现有伴侣通知项目的优势和障碍，以及在设计针对艾滋病毒感染吸毒者的有效干预措施时应考虑的问题。建议在试点和评估此类项目之前开展进一步的研究和规划活动。
