A member asked:
Can doctors treat you for an std if you've been exposed to one ? like chlyamedia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: You always have the option of undergoing screening and testing for stds. An alternative approach to assuring treatment of partners is expedited partner therapy (ept). Ept is the delivery of medications or prescriptions by persons infected with an std to their sex partners without clinical assessment of the partners. This is allowable or potentially permitted in 44 states. I hope this helps.
