We follow up with many people who are diagnosed with a sexually transmitted infection (STI). It's a free, confidential service known as Partner Services. It's available to people who are diagnosed with syphilis or HIV, and for some who are diagnosed with gonorrhea and chlamydia.
We can help connect you to medical care and connect with your partners to help them with testing and treatment, or support you in reaching out to them yourself.
We might try to contact you by phone call, text, email, or letter. Sometimes we reach out on a social networking site or dating app. We'll always identify ourselves as a Public Health employee. No matter how we reach out, we keep your information confidential!
