Expedited Partner Therapy Sample Workflows
Expedited Partner Therapy (EPT) is the clinical practice of treating sex partners of patients diagnosed with a sexually transmitted infection (STI) without the healthcare provider first examining the partner. EPT is effective, safe, and acceptable to patients and their partners, and has been allowable in California since 2001 (California Health & Safety Code § 120582). EPT is commonly offered for chlamydia, gonorrhea, and trichomoniasis. The following workflows are recommendations for clinical staff to use as a resource when offering EPT.
