I don't know about Oregon specifically, but I would imagine that it is the same as most other places in North America. HIV is a reportable disease, meaning that they take statistics of new infections for public health records. If you test positive for HIV, a public health nurse will ask you for your sexual history. If you are comfortable notifying your partner or past partners about your HIV+ status, then they will let you do this. If you are not, then the nurse will have them contacted by the public health agency and the person will be told in a very general way that someone they have had sexual contact with has tested positive for HIV and that they are encouraged to get a test. If you are living with HIV, it is required that you both inform your sexual partner of this prior to having sex - and that you practice safe sex (use condoms).
