Evaluation of the Provincial Infectious Syphilis Partner Notification Program among Men who have Sex with Men in BC, Canada

Venessa Ryan Infectious syphilis rates have been increasing in British Columbia (BC), primarily among gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (gbMSM). Partner notification (PN) is a key strategy to preventing and controlling infectious syphilis. We evaluated PN outcomes along a cascade-of-care from partner identification, notification, testing, to subsequent diagnosis of infectious syphilis. We compared outcomes for partner notified by patients versus providers to inform areas that may benefit from further investment.
