New Orleans scientists part of STD experiment.
2003 FEB 13 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- A woman is more likely to avoid a second case of a common sexually transmitted disease if she gives medicine, not just advice, to her sexual partners, according to a study conducted by scientists in New Orleans and elsewhere.
The study bolsters a system called patient-delivered partner treatment, in which doctors provide medicine for people they have not examined.
An earlier investigation of this method by Tulane University epidemiologist Patricia Kissinger, who oversaw the New Orleans portion of the latest study, spurred California lawmakers to change that state's law, allowing doctors to give patients extra doses of an antibiotic for their sex partners.
A similar legislative change would be necessary in Louisiana because doctors are required to examine patients before dispensing medicine.
That seems unlikely, though, because a physician could be sued if the unseen recipient had a bad reaction to the drug, said Dr. Brobson Lutz, medical spokesman for the Orleans Parish Medical Society.
The California law does not exempt physicians from such lawsuits.
"This seems like an important public health approach, but because of legal concerns, I doubt that it will transplant to the private-practice community with much enthusiasm," Lutz said.
