Assessing the effectiveness of a patient-driven partner notification strategy among pregnant women infected with syphilis in Bolivia.

The article presents a study on the feasibility and acceptability of a patient-led syphilis partner notification strategy among pregnant women with syphilis, their male partners, and treatment completion in Bolivia. It was found that more male partners who were notified by women completed syphilis treatment compared to those notified by providers. Multivariate analysis showed that men notified by their partners had a threefold greater odds of treatment completion than those not notified.
