Martha's Case: The Unwelcome Phone Call

Question 18

Martha isn't thrilled about the partner notification process. She asks you: "Why is partner notification so important?"

What should you tell Martha?

Partner Notification is important because it...

  1. Prevents re-infection and promotes safer sex practices
  2. Helps to prevent the spread of STI to others
  3. Reduces the risks of complications in those with asymptomatic STI
  4. All of the above
