Partner Treatment

Partner treatment refers to the process of treating individuals who have been in close contact with someone diagnosed with certain infections, like sexually transmitted infections (STIs). When one person is diagnosed, their recent partners are also treated to prevent the infection from spreading or re-infecting the original individual. This approach helps control the infection within the community, reduces the risk of complications, and ensures that all affected individuals receive appropriate care simultaneously. Effective partner treatment is essential for comprehensive disease management and maintaining public health.
