Summary

The bill adds bacterial vaginosis to the list of sexually transmitted infections for which a patient’s partner can receive antibiotics without a personal medical assessment. It also expands the types of health‑care practitioners—physicians, APRNs, physician assistants, certain nurses, pharmacists, and licensed certified midwives—who may provide this treatment. The goal is to curb spread and reinfection while simplifying care delivery.
