title: Female partner notification is a promising prevention strategy for controlling sexually transmitted infections in Shanghai: demographic and behavioral data from a Shanghai clinic.
abstract: We identified predictors of partner presentation and condom use among male gonorrhea patients in Shanghai, China. Stable relationships, intercourse in the preceding week, and longer duration of symptoms were associated with partner presentation. Men were more likely to use condoms with their spouse and if they were 35 years or younger.
