No. A person who tests HIV positive may be asked about his or her partners but is not legally required to reveal names. People cannot be punished or have treatment denied if they do not disclose the names of their partners to a doctor or public health worker. However, people with HIV should know the options they have for partner notification and understand how vitally important it is for partners to know of their possible exposure to HIV so that they can get tested and get treatment if they are infected.
