Partner screening advice involves guiding patients on the importance of having their sexual partners evaluated and, if necessary, treated for sexually transmitted infections. Even when a partner has no symptoms, screening helps prevent reinfection and further spread of infection.

Once an STI is diagnosed or suspected, partners who may have been exposed are identified. Medical guidance is provided on when and how partners should undergo testing or treatment. This approach ensures comprehensive care and protects the health of everyone involved.

This advice is suitable for individuals who:

Have been diagnosed with an STI

Have ongoing or recent sexual partners

Want to prevent reinfection or recurrence

Are unsure how to inform partners responsibly
