Often partners are supportive and appreciate they have been informed that they may have been exposed to an STI. If one partner is untreated for an STI it can be passed back and forth.
You have a few choices:
-
Tell them face-to-face
-
Ask your doctor for assistance
-
Send an online anonymous message as a text or email
1. Tell Your Partner Face-to-face
-
Just tell them in person or over the phone. If you feel a text message is easier, this works too.
-
Often we connect with our sexual partners on hook up apps like Grindr. You already have a dialogue going, so why not use this chat option to tell them you got syphilis?
2. Ask Your Doctor
-
Your doctor can assist you in contacting your sexual partners and suggest they be treated also.
-
Your doctor may be able to arrange a Contact Tracer (a special public health worker) to inform them for you
-
You won’t be identified
3. Online Anonymous Notification
