Prison-Based HIV Partner Notification
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 18 Sept 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Assisted partner notification (APN) is a voluntary and confidential process that utilizes specially-trained health workers to encourage and assist people diagnosed with HIV to inform their sex and drug use partners about possible shared exposure to HIV. With APN, partners who have come in contact with HIV are notified about exposure and given information to protect themselves from contracting HIV in the future or to begin treatment, if needed. This study compares two types of HIV partner notification. Incarcerated men with HIV will be recruited as "index participants". Participants in both groups will be encouraged to notify sex and needle-sharing partners with whom they may have shared an HIV exposure before incarceration. All participants have the option to self-notify partners during a prison visitation or telephone call. In addition, participants randomized to an APN Choice group also can opt for anonymous notification by specially-trained APN notifiers that includes contact tracing if needed. As outcomes, we will compare the number of partners in each condition who are notified, HIV tested, diagnosed, and linked to HIV treatment. The study will show if prison-based APN is successful in reaching partners for HIV testing.
