Empirical treatment of asymptomatic contacts of gonorrhoea: patient views
Ruthy McIver, Sheina Low, Rick Varma, Tobias Vickers, Anna McNulty - Volume 17(5) A move away from empirically treating asymptomatic sexual contacts of gonorrhoea would conserve first-line antibiotics for confirmed infections, but we do not know whether this change in practice would be acceptable to patients. We surveyed the views of sexual health clinic attendees about empirical and non-empirical treatment models and found that most would agree to return for treatment of a positive result. Those who live in regional and remote areas were less likely to agree with non-empirical treatment. (Source: Sexual Health)
