Maryland SB394 allows expedited partner therapy for bacterial vaginosis and expands the list of providers who can prescribe treatment.
Maryland SB394 modifies expedited partner therapy laws to include bacterial vaginosis. It allows physicians, advanced practice registered nurses, physician assistants, and registered nurses from local health departments to prescribe antibiotic therapy to partners of patients diagnosed with chlamydia, gonorrhea, trichomoniasis, or bacterial vaginosis without a physical assessment of the partner. This aims to control the spread of infections and reduce reinfection.
