Significantly greater than that of contacts of HIV-uninfected or HIV-unknown index cases (P < .001).

Denominator for percentage was the number of those eligible for HIV testing; otherwise, the number of close contacts, if not indicated.

Significantly greater than that of contacts of HIV-unknown index cases (P < .01). But not different from those of HIV-uninfected index cases (P = .543).
