通过艾滋病毒伙伴服务，查明可能没有接受检测的人。17%的人从未接受过检测，44%的人在过去两年中没有接受过检测，没有人接受过常规检测。这些数据表明，艾滋病毒伴侣服务成功地覆盖了那些在没有这项服务的情况下可能不会开始检测的人。据估计，美国120万艾滋病毒感染者中有20%不知道自己感染了艾滋病毒，1有证据表明，大多数新的艾滋病毒感染是从这些人那里获得的。2鉴于了解自己艾滋病毒状况的人可减少其传播艾滋病毒的风险，2提高了解自己艾滋病毒状况的艾滋病毒感染者的比例是一项重要的公共卫生战略。国家建议要求艾滋病毒感染高危人群，如男男性行为者和注射毒品使用者，至少每年进行一次艾滋病毒检测。3.旧金山弗朗西斯科公共卫生部进一步建议，艾滋病毒感染高危人群至少每6个月进行一次检测。4
HIV through HIV partner services to identify persons who might not otherwise have tested. Seventeen percent had never been tested, 44% had not been tested in the previous 2 years, and none had been tested routinely. These data demonstrate that HIV partner services were successful in reaching persons who may not have initiated testing without this service.It is estimated that 20% of the 1.2 million persons living with HIV in the United States are not aware of their infection, 1 and evidence suggests that most new HIV infections are acquired from such individuals. 2 Given that persons who are aware of their HIV status may reduce their risk of transmitting HIV, 2 increasing the proportion of HIV-infected persons who know their status is a critical public health strategy. National recommendation calls for persons at high risk for HIV infection such as men who have sex with men (MSM) and injection drug users (IDU) be tested for HIV at least annually. 3 The San Francisco Department of Public Health (SFDPH) further recommends that persons at high risk for HIV infection be tested at least every 6 months. 4
