STIs in sex partners notified for chlamydia exposure: implications for expedited partner therapy.Published in
Sex Transm Infect 2018; 94(8):619-21Publiekssamenvatting
Expedited partner therapy (EPT) may reduce chlamydia reinfection rates. However, the disadvantages of EPT for chlamydia include missing the opportunity to test for other STIs and unnecessary use of antibiotics among non-infected partners. As part of a larger study that investigated the feasibility of EPT in the Netherlands, we explored the frequency of STI among a potential EPT target population of chlamydia-notified heterosexual men and women attending STI clinics for testing.PMID
