Dallas County Health and Human Services has a protocol for following up acute HIV infection cases that includes notifying key staff, assigning a disease intervention specialist, attempting to interview the case within 72 hours, enrolling the case in early intervention services within 24 hours, making a medical appointment within 21 days, and enhanced partner notification. The protocol aims to interview high risk partners of acute HIV cases within 72 hours and test them for HIV. Between July 2009 and May 2010, they followed up 26 acute HIV cases, interviewed 23, initiated follow up for 40 partners and 25 suspects, and identified 2 new HIV cases. Their case management activities included linking patients to services and locating and testing their partners.
