| Abstract: | The Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO) supports partner notification, but is troubled by the methods advocated by the HIV Partner Protection Act (H.R. 4431). H.R. 4431 is a "one-size-fits-all" solution that requires all states to adopt programs to notify the sex or needle-sharing partners of people with HIV. ASTHO believes that states are already improving their existing notification programs, and H.R. 4431 does not allow for the individual needs of each state. |
