Purpose: To invite comment from recognized representatives of
public health agencies and the public on proposed public health

priorities, and resources availability.'' Summarily, STD cooperative
agreements also require grantees to have provisions for partner
notification services.

examine future directions in partner notification policy, practice
and research for the purpose of disease control in the United States
concerning HIV and STD.
