Re-infection by untreated partners of people treated for Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae: mathematical modelling study [PDF]
Sex Transm Infect. 2014 May;90(3):254-6, 2013 Objectives: Re-infection after treatment for Chlamydia trachomatis or Neisseria gonorrhoeae reduces the effect of control interventions. We explored the impact of delays in partner treatment on the expected probability of re-infection of index cases using a mathematical model.
