INTRODUCTION
The epidemic of HIV and AIDS continues to affect citizens of Massachusetts. As of April
1997, more than 12,250 cumulative AIDS cases had been reported in the State and an
estimated 43,000 people were living with HIV and AIDS. The state has made strides in
preventing the illness and in providing services and treatment for people who are infected
and affected by HIV/ AIDS. This manual has been created to provide referrals to
appropriate services.

MASSACHUSETTS DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH
DIVISION OF SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASE PREVENTION
305 South Street
Jamaica Plain, MA 02130
(617) 983-6940
HIV PARTNER NOTIFICATION (PN)
Reaching people who have been exposed to the disease, and then providing appropriate
intervention, is at the very core of public health practice. With STDs, the sexual or needle-
sharing partner is identified by the infected individual, informed of his/her exposure, and offered
services to prevent, cure or manage the infection. The Division of STD Prevention has been
using PN as a tool to limit the number of cases of syphilis and gonorrhea for the past 50 years.
We have extended this tool to HIV prevention for the past five years.
Reaching infected persons and providing them with counseling and education are critical
elements of an HIV prevention program. PN provides for this on an individual and personalized
basis, while providing feedback on the effectiveness of broader, community-based efforts. As a
prevention tool, PN can help fine-tune and target the messages for those at g:~»L£St risk.
TENETS OF PARTNER NOTIFICATION
• PN IS ALWAYS VOLUNTARY - No one is forced to use the service.
• STD INTERVIEWERS DO NOT NEED TO KNOW THE CLIENT S NAME - They only
need the counselor or other professional to confirm that an HIV infected person is being
interviewed.
• NOTIFICATION IS ALWAYS FACE-TO-FACE, IN PRIVATE - This assures, to the
greatest extent possible, that the person being informed is the one who was named by the partner.
• PARTNERS ARE NOTIFIED OF POSSIBLE EXPOSURE, not that they are infected.
• THE SOURCE OF INFORMATION IS NEVER REVEALED OR ACKNOWLEDGED.
• NO RECORDS ARE KEPT ON HIV-INFECTED PEOPLE USING PN - Notes kept by
the STD interviewer with names of partners are shredded and burned after notification is
performed.
ADVANTAGES OF PN FOR THE HIV-INFECTED PERSON
• SAFETY - Many HIV-infected people, particularly women, fear the possibility of emotional or
physical abuse. PN provides a safe way to reach partners and minimize risk of harm to the
infected person.
• SELECTIVE NOTIFICATIONS - An infected person who fears for his/her safety from a
particular partner need not name that person, but there may be other partners who could be
named without the same concern for safety.
• EMPOWERMENT - The HIV-infected person is taking an active role in their own care and
in the care of those important to them.
64
ADVANTAGES OF HIV-PN FOR PARTNERS
• Partners are informed of risks of which they may not be aware.
• HIV-PN provides personalized education to those at highest risk of infection, i.e., partners of
HIV-infected people, with advice on how to continue expressing their sexuality while reducing
future risks of exposure and infection.
• Partners are informed of risks to which they may be exposing other partners.
• Partners are offered counseling/medical care/social services to help determine whether they're
infected and to help cope with such news - thus, HIV-PN is a gateway to services for those at
highest risk of infection.
PROTECTING THE INFECTED PERSON
• The STD interviewer does not need to know the infected person's name; the person notifying
the partner(s) may not be the one who interviewed the infected person, so there's little chance of
inadvertently providing any identifying clues.
• Pronouns (he, she) regarding the infected person are avoided.
• Partners are directed away from dwelling on "Who named me?" and focus instead on learning
about HIV and the need to deal with the possibility of being infected.
• Partners are infc^ii~d only that the pc.son naming them was a contact during the past 10 years.
TO OBTAIN SERVICES OR ASK QUESTIONS
PN notification services are offered through anyone who works with HIV-infected people, e.g.,
clinicians, counselors, social workers, etc. The provider can call the STD Prevention Division
whenever their client decides to use the service and can arrange a meeting between the client and
the STD representative. By working through the provider, the client's identity is not divulged
and the STD representative will have the provider's assurance that the person requesting PN
service is actually HIV-infected. This protects against false notifications perpetrated against
other people.

regional or clinic offices:

HIV DRUG ASSISTANCE PLAN (HDAP)
(800) 228-2714 or (617) 566-8358
The HIV Drug Assistance Plan (HDAP) helps qualified Massachusetts residents pay for specific
drugs when these drugs are prescribed for HIV infections. HDAP is funded with grant money from
the United States Public Health Service, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health HIV/AIDS
Bureau, and the Boston Public Health Commission. This program was designed to help people who
cannot afford HTV drugs or who do not have health insurance that will pay for them. The Plan pays
all or part of the monthly cost of these drugs for those Massachusetts residents who have been
referred by a physician, meet income eligibility requirements, and have no other resource for full
coverage of medication. For further information, please call (617) 566-8358 or (800) 228-2714.

COMPASSIONATE USE AND TREATMENT
INVESTIGATIONAL NEW DRUG (IND) PROGRAMS
Compassionate Use Program: A method of releasing an investigational new drug when there is little
established data to its efficacy (the drug has not entered or is still under Phase HI investigation).
People who are seriously ill and believe that they may benefit from taking the experimental
medication can have their physician call the drug company direct for application and eligibility
criteria.
Treatment Investigational New Drug (IND) Programs: A program that makes experimental drugs
available to seriously ill people prior to formal marketing approval. This process is after drugs have
demonstrated safety and efficacy (they have undergone Phase I, U/ID. trials) but before they have
gained FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approval. As in compassionate use programs it is
necessary for an individual's physician to call the drug company for application and eligibility
criteria.
