Partner Services Patient’s Guide

Posted January 2011

INFORMING your past and current partners is HIV PREVENTION

Partner Services is a free Health Department program that assists people with HIV by helping patients plan how to best notify sex and/or needle sharing partners of a possible exposure to HIV. Partner Services is voluntary.

Partner Services can be used by people newly diagnosed with HIV or people who have been aware of their HIV status for some time.

Partner Services is a confidential program. This means that your name will not be shared with your partners, and no one can find out that you used Partner Services.
