ICSHC: Sexually Transmitted Infections - Timeliness of Treatment and Expedited Partner Therapy
September 21, 2011 | 3:00 - 4:30 p.m.
Presenter: Rich Zimmerman, IDPH

Prompt treatment of infected clients and their sexual partners is essential to reduce the transmission of chlamydia and gonorrhea, and prevent risks from untreated infection.

As of January 1, 2010, health care professionals in Illinois (licensed physicians, physician assistants and advanced practice nurses) have the option of providing antibiotic therapy for the sex partners of individuals infected with chlamydia and gonorrhea, even if they have not been able to perform an exam on the infected patient's partner(s). The general term for this practice is Expedited Partner Therapy (EPT).

Currently, there are considerable challenges to effective partner management.  Because of the high burden of infection and limited public health resources for partner notification activities, it is difficult for local health departments to provide investigation and partner notification for cases of gonorrhea and chlamydia.  Thus, the standard of care has become patient referral, whereby physicians counsel patients that the responsibility for notifying partners rests with the patient.  The effectiveness of patient referral is limited by the patient’s choice in notifying the partner, as well as the partner’s choice in seeking treatment.  Despite being notified, asymptomatic partners often fail to seek care because they have no signs or symptoms of infection, and they incorrectly assume they are not infected.   Additionally, some partners may be uninsured and have limited access to medical care.  These limitations to the effectiveness of partner management demonstrate the need for additional strategies to ensure sex partner treatment such as expedited partner therapy.
