Partner notification for sexually transmitted diseases: proposed practice guidelines.
Using the results of an analysis of available scientific evidence and a survey of current practice in Canada, as well as expert opinion, these guidelines attempt to consider current partner notification practice in Canada and recommend an approach to determining practice which is flexible enough to address local circumstances. Priority areas for future research were also identified.
