28. Acceptance of Expedited Partner Therapy Among Adolescents in an Urban Reproductive Health Clinic

Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) and Neisseria gonorrhoeae (GC) are among the most common sexually transmitted infections in the United States and have the potential for serious sequelae. Expedited partner therapy (EPT) is an intervention supported by the Centers for Disease Control and proven to decrease recurrent or persistent sexually transmitted infections, however there is limited evidence of its acceptance and compliance in the adolescent population. Our study aimed to measure acceptance and uptake rates of EPT among women infected with GC and/or CT at an urban health clinic, and identify patient factors that may influence their decision-making.
