Martha's Case: The Unwelcome Phone Call

Question 2

Martha's partner has moved and did not leave any information about where he could be reached making it impossible for Martha to find out more about his "drip". What would you advise?

  1. Tell Martha not to worry about it.
  2. Get more information about her risk factors for STI, then test her for gonorrhea (Neisseria gonorrhoeae) and chlamydia (Chlamydia trachomatis) and treat her now for both.
  3. Test her for both and only treat her if tests are positive.
  4. Get more information about her risk factors for STI then treat her for both without prior testing.
