Yes. Informing your recent sexual partners is a fundamental part of taking care of your own and others' health. Many infections can be asymptomatic, so a person may be infected without knowing it.
How to do it?
- In a direct and honest way, explaining that you have taken a test and that you have tested positive.
- Indicating that it is advisable that testing also be carried out
- Avoidance of sexual intercourse until treatment is completed (if applicable).
It may be an uncomfortable conversation, but it is an act of mutual responsibility and care.
