ABSTRACT
Offering people living with HIV the opportunity to refer partners for HIV testing is an efficient way of identifying new HIV diagnoses. This report describes the outcomes of physician-led partner services at an urban academic center. Patients with HIV VL > 1000 copies/mL in both inpatient and outpatient settings were offered partner notification services (PNS). Of referred partners, 8.7% had a new diagnosis of HIV. New HIV+ partners were as likely to be referred by patients with existing HIV diagnoses as new diagnoses (p = 0.61), and as likely to be referred by patients interviewed while hospitalized as those in the clinic (p = 0.61).
