Cite as Ind. Admin. Code tit. 410, r. 1-2.5-29
Sec. 29. "Expedited partner therapy" or "EPT" means the practice of treating sexual partners of patients diagnosed with a sexually
transmitted disease (specifically chlamydia or gonorrhea, or both) without an intervening medical evaluation. EPT is a treatment option to increase
the likelihood that sex partners get needed medication thus reducing the risk of reinfection and potential further dissemination of these diseases within
the community.
