We surveyed individuals recently diagnosed with chlamydia about partner notification methods and rates.

We found that nearly half reported they would find it useful if a website was available with anonymous e-mail and SMS services to assist in partner notification. Over half expressed they would like to have been given antibiotics to give to their partner. The availability of tailored resources may assist in improving partner notification for chlamydia.
