I begin here by saying the answer to this question is undoubtedly yes.
It must first be understood the advise of legal papers on this subject:

I provide the summary paragraph and a paragraph on ethical and privacy concerns:
Summary: Highly effective antiretroviral treatment is widely viewed as a powerful tool in the fight to control and prevent HIV infection. Hopes of reducing HIV incidence in the United States and improving health outcomes for people living with HIV, however, hinge on improving access to highly effective treatment and overcoming barriers to continuous treatment. Surveillance-based follow-up with individuals is an infectious disease control practice that holds promise for surmounting these problems and Using HIV Surveillance Data to Improve Care and Prevent Infection 35 represents a paradigm shift in the use of HIV surveillance data. We have highlighted the activities of several health departments that have begun to move beyond monitoring to using surveillance data for proactive linkage to HIV care and reengagement in care activities. Health departments preparing to implement such activities should review the ethical, strategic, and procedural considerations outlined here. Ongoing evaluation of activities will be necessary to ensure that they balance beneficence, respect for persons, and justice. Implementing surveillancebased approaches to facilitating HIV care more broadly will require a recommitment to cooperation, mutual respect, promotion of fair opportunity, and protection from social risk as the foundation of HIV prevention and high-quality HIV care.
