Qué contiene
Resumen con IA Healthcare providers can now give medicine to the sexual partners of people diagnosed with trichomoniasis without needing to examine those partners first. This rule applies to doctors, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners who treat patients with chlamydia or gonorrhea. If a patient cannot give the medicine to their partner themselves, the provider can give it to health officials to deliver instead. (Todavía no está traducido al español.)1

This bill expands the existing clinical practice of treating the sexual partners of patients diagnosed with chlamydia or gonorrhea to include trichomoniasis. Under the program, if a patient is diagnosed with one of these sexually transmitted infections, the patient’s physician, physician assistant, or advanced registered nurse practitioner may prescribe, dispense, furnish, or otherwise provide prescription oral antibiotic drugs to that patient’s sexual partner or partners without examination of that patient’s partner or partners. Additionally, if the infected patient is unwilling or unable to deliver such prescription drugs to a sexual partner or partners, a physician, physician assistant, or advanced registered nurse practitioner may dispense, furnish, or otherwise provide the prescription drugs to the department of public health or local disease prevention investigation staff for delivery to the partner or partners.
