title: Comparing HIV partner notification effectiveness between blacks and Hispanics in New York City.
abstract: Between July 2006 and November 2007, a total of 894 blacks and 491 Hispanics were interviewed to assess partner notification services. Fewer Hispanics needed to be interviewed to identify 1 newly diagnosed partner as compared with blacks (24 vs. 60, P < 0.01), but number needed to be interviewed was similar for identifying partners with any HIV infection.
