Known partners can be added in the HIV Partners Entry tile after a new HIV case is created, or an existing HIV case is selected via the HIV Partners Search tile. For help searching for a specific case, please refer to the Search for HIV Case or Partners page for more details.
1. Click on Insert a row in the Identified Partners grid.
2. Enter all details in the Identified Partners window, if known.
Any comments related to the investigation can be entered in the Additional comments section at the bottom of the form.
Some important fields include:
| PARIS ID | Click on the magnifying glass to search for the contact in PARIS. If the contact is in PARIS, their PARIS ID, first name, last name, birth date, gender, PHN, primary phone, email, and address will populate from Central Index. This is not mandatory, but can save time entering client information. |

| Staff Safety Concern | Check the box if there is a safety concern and type in the free-text box where more details can be found (e.g., PARIS Community Risk Screen, Additional Comments, etc.). |
| Grouping/Location | Can be used by a clinician to group their partners (e.g., bathhouse, Las Vegas, etc.). |
| Was partner notified? | Select whether or not the partner was notified of their exposure to HIV |
| Successful method of contact | Enter the method of contact that was used to successfully reach the client. This may be different than the best contact method. |
