FAMILY PLANNING, STD, HIV PROGRAMS
The Family Planning, STD, & HIV Programs receive federal funding to support testing, treatment and prevention services for Idaho’s reportable sexually transmitted infections, including:
Sex Partner Treatment of Chlamydia and Gonorrhea Infections
All partners of patients who test positive for Chlamydia or Gonorrhea should be treated as if they are infected.
If a physician takes responsibility to ensure partner treatment, the provider should examine and treat all of the persons the patient had sex with in the 60 days prior to the date the patient was tested. If this is not possible, patients may be given medication to give to their sex partners. This is called Expedited Partner Therapy (EPT). More information about EPT can be found at the CDC's website http://www.cdc.gov/std/ept/ and patient handouts for EPT can be accessed here.
Services are administered through contracts with District Health Departments and community-based organizations throughout Idaho. The Ryan White Part B AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) and coverage of other direct care services are administered directly through the STD/AIDS Program.
