Participants completed a one-on-one, open-ended, semistructured qualitative interview and quantitative survey.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results.<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Overall, white, HIV-infected MSM had the highest level of knowledge about PN activities. MSM who were unfamiliar with PN were disproportionately nonwhite and HIV-uninfected. Participants were more likely to notify past partners of HIV exposure than STD exposure. The preferred method of PN for the majority of MSM was direct person-to-person notification. Notably, nonwhite participants were more likely to endorse Massachusetts Department of Public Health PN services than white MSM, who preferred involvement of primary care providers.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions.<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>PN is an important public health strategy for treating and preventing STDs and HIV among at-risk populations, especially MSM who engage in sexual behavior with anonymous or otherwise non-notifiable sexual partners. Although many MSM had an understanding of the ethical desirability of informing exposed partners and recognized the value of preventative behaviors, they require further education to overcome barriers to PN as well as to gain knowledge of the various methods of both traditional and nontraditional notification, such as Internet PN.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/003335490912400114","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,7,4]],"date-time":"2017-07-04T11:39:17Z","timestamp":1499168357000},"page":"111-119","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":36,"title":["Partner Notification after STD and HIV Exposures and Infections: Knowledge, Attitudes, and Experiences of Massachusetts Men Who Have Sex with Men"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"124","author":[{"given":"Matthew J.","family":"Mimiaga","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The Fenway Institute, Fenway Community Health, Boston, MA"},{"name":"Harvard Medical School\/Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sari L.","family":"Reisner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Fenway Institute, Fenway Community Health, Boston, MA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ashley M.","family":"Tetu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Fenway Institute, Fenway Community Health, Boston, MA"},{"name":"Boston University, School of Public Health, Boston, MA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Katherine E.","family":"Bonafide","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Fenway Institute, Fenway Community Health, Boston, MA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kevin","family":"Cranston","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Massachusetts Department of Public Health, Boston, MA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Thomas","family":"Bertrand","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Boston University, School of Public Health, Boston, MA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"David S.","family":"Novak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Massachusetts Department of Public Health, Boston, MA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kenneth H.","family":"Mayer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Fenway Institute, Fenway Community Health, Boston, MA"},{"name":"Brown Medical School\/Miriam Hospital, Providence, RI"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,1,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-003335490912400114","volume-title":"HIV\/AIDS surveillance report","volume":"17","author":"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (US)","year":"2005"},{"key":"bibr2-003335490912400114","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00007435-199010000-00011"},{"key":"bibr3-003335490912400114","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(83)90138-1"},{"key":"bibr4-003335490912400114","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2105\/AJPH.79.4.501"},{"key":"bibr5-003335490912400114","unstructured":"CDC (US).
