Impart: findings from a prison-based model of HIV assisted partner notification in Indonesia.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Assisted partner notification (APN) safely and effectively increases partner awareness of HIV exposure, testing and case identification in community settings. Nonetheless, it has not been specifically developed or evaluated for use in prison settings where people with HIV often are diagnosed and may have difficulty contacting or otherwise notifying partners. We developed Impart, a prison-based APN model, and evaluated its efficacy in Indonesia to increase partner notification and HIV testing.

Methods

From January 2020 to January 2021, 55 incarcerated men with HIV were recruited as index participants from six jail and prison facilities in Jakarta in a two-group randomized trial comparing the outcomes of self-tell notification (treatment as usual) versus Impart AP
