Of the 1,612 index cases, 182 were recently infected, while 1,430 had been infected long-term. Of the 2,226 close contacts, 910 underwent HIV antibody testing, with 17.8% (162\/910) testing positive. Notably, 132 of these contacts were newly diagnosed with HIV, representing 14.5% of those tested. The detection rates for both positive and newly diagnosed infections were higher among contacts identified by recently infected index cases than among those identified by long-term infected index cases. A multivariate analysis showed that HIV index cases of other ethnicities (adjusted odds ratio (aOR)\u202f=\u202f1.688, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.495\u20131.905), the divorced (aOR\u202f=\u202f1.430, 95%CI: 1.237\u20131.654), those traced through voluntary counselling and testing (VCT) (aOR\u202f=\u202f1.707, 95%CI: 1.077\u20132.705) and those exposed to commercial sex (aOR\u202f=\u202f1.437, 95%CI: 1.257\u20131.642) were more likely to receive tracing counselling. Among close contacts, those who were Han Chinese (aOR\u202f=\u202f1.231, 95% CI: 1.012~1.498), married (aOR\u202f=\u202f1.738, 95% CI: 1.339\u202f~\u202f2.255), had a high school education or higher (aOR\u202f=\u202f2.809, 95% CI: 1.849~4.267) or were exposed to positive spouses or regular sex partners (aOR\u202f=\u202f2.403, 95% CI: 1.741~3.317) were more likely to undergo HIV testing. A higher positive testing rate was observed among men (aOR\u202f=\u202f2.608, 95% CI: 1.740~3.911), ethnic minorities (aOR\u202f=\u202f1.645, 95% CI: 1.098~2.465), individuals aged 40\u201349 (aOR\u202f=\u202f2.733, 95% CI: 1.497~4.990) and individuals exposed to positive spouses or regular partners (aOR\u202f=\u202f2.215, 95% CI: 1.411~3.477).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>HIV recent infection testing is instrumental in enhancing the efficiency of contact tracing efforts.
