Expedited Partner Treatment

The New Mexico Medical Board amended the Medical Practice Act to allow health professionals to offer Expedited Partner Treatment (EPT) to partners of patients with STDs under guidelines developed by the New Mexico Department of Health (NMDOH).

Expedited Partner Treatment (EPT) is a mechanism for providers to treat patients with whom they have not established a therapeutic relationship, in order to prevent re-infection of an index patient. Heterosexual patients with uncomplicated gonorrhea or chlamydia have lower rates of re-infection when their sexual partners are provided with EPT, according to published research supported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
