PARTNER NOTIFICATION 

Partner notification should be discussed with patients diagnosed with chlamydia. Consider referring patients to the Let Them Know website (www.letthemknow.org.au) which is designed to support patients to undertake partner notification and which facilitates sending of SMS and email messages to partners. Partners should be contacted, tested and treated without waiting for their test results. Individuals should abstain from sex with their partners until 7 days after both have received treatment.
