Good question! If it is one of the reportable STI (Chlamydia, Gonnorhea, Syphilis, Hepatitis A,B, & C, and HIV), then they would give the public health nurse a list of their sexual partners. This could be anything from specific names to a description of the person so they can be tracked down. After this, the public health nurse will contact people on the list & ask them to come down to get tested.
