Description

Introduction The practice of partner notification and management, also known as contact tracing or partner services, continues to be an important public health strategy in the control of infectious diseases, including such well-known infections as sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and HIV and including such emerging infections as severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and monkey pox. Health officials in the United States have been using the public health practice of notifying and treating sex partners as an important intervention to control the spread of syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2001a). To reduce the rates of transmission of and re-infection with these bacterial STDs, it is important not only to treat the patient (also referred to as the index case) who is seeking care with effective antibiotics but also to provide medical evaluation and treatment to the sex partners (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2002; Rothenberg & Potterat, 1999). Partner notification and management is also becoming an increasingly important strategy in the control of HIV infection, especially in the new era of highly effective therapy (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2003a).
