<h1><font face="book antiqua, times new roman, times" mstheme>Case Study 10</font></h1>
<p>You are a Health Adviser liasing with a busy gynaecological ward within a local
hospital. The swab results of a 26-year-old woman, about to be discharged following a
suction termination of pregnancy, show positive to chlamydia and gonorrhoea. In
conversation with her you discover that she has a new partner of 6 weeks standing. Her
last sexual contact was 2 days ago. He is a doctor and will probably treat himself. She
believes the source of her infection was a previous partner of 6 months standing. It was 2
months ago when she last had sex with him but she is fearful about contacting him because
this relationship broke down because of his violent nature. She lets slip his name
– the manager of a Premier league football team! There is no way she wants to get
back in touch with him and swears you to secrecy.<o:p></o:p></p>
