CALIFORNIA STD TREATMENT GUIDELINES TABLE FOR ADULTS & ADOLESCENTS 2012
These guidelines reflect recent updates to the 2010 CDC STD Treatment Guidelines and the Region IX Infertility Clinical Guidelines. The focus is primarily on STDs encountered in of ice practice. These guidelines are intended as a source of clinical guidance; they are not a comprehensive list of all ef ective regimens and are not intended to substitute for use of the full 2010 STD treatment guidelines document. Call the local health department to report STD infections; to request assistance with confidential notification of sexual partners of patients with syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia or HIV infection; or to obtain additional information on the medical management of STD patients. The California STD/HIV Prevention Training Center is a resource for
training and consultation about STD clinical management and prevention (510-625-6000) or www.stdhivtraining.org.

1. Annual screening for women aged 25 years or younger. Nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) are recommended. Al patients should be re-tested 3 months after treatment for chlamydia or gonorrhea. 2. Contraindicated for pregnant and nursing women. 3. Every effort to use a recommended regimen should be made. Test-of-cure fol ow-up (preferably by NAAT) 3-4 weeks after completion of therapy is recommended in pregnancy. 4. If treatment failure is suspected because GC has been documented, the patient has been treated with a recommended regimen for GC, and symptoms have not resolved, then perform a test-of-cure using culture and antibiotic susceptibility testing and report to the local health department. For clinical consult, cal the CA STD Control Branch at 510-620-3400. For further guidance, go t(“STD  Guidelines”). 5. Oral cephalosporins give lower and less-sustained bacteriocidal levels than ceftriaxone 250 mg and have limited efficacy for treating pharyngeal GC. Therefore, ceftriaxone is the preferred medication. 6. For patients with cephalosporin al ergy, or severe penicil in al ergy, (e.g., anaphylaxis, Stevens Johnson syndrome, and toxic epidermal necrolysis), azithromycin is an option. However, because of GI intolerance and concerns regarding emerging resistance, it should be used with caution. 7. Testing for gonorrhea and chlamydia is recommended because a specific diagnosis may improve compliance and partner management, and because these infections are reportable by California law. 8. Evaluate for bacterial vaginosis. If present or cannot be ruled out, also use metronidazole. 9. Discontinue 24 hours after patient improves clinical y and continue with oral therapy for a total of 14 days. 10. Fluoroquinolones can be considered for PID if the risk of GC is low, a NAAT test for GC is performed, and fol ow-up of the patient can be assured. If GC is documented, the patient should be re-treated with the recommended ceftriaxone and doxycycline regimen. If cephalosporin therapy is not an option, the addition of azithromycin 2 g oral y as a single dose to a quinolone-based PID regimen is recommended. 11. If local prevalence of gonorrhea is greater than 5%, treat empirical y for gonorrhea infection. 12. If gonorrhea is documented, change to a medication regimen that does not include a fluoroquinolone. 13. For suspected drug-resistant trichomoniasis, rule out re-infection; see 2010 CDC Guidelines, Trichomonas Fol ow-up , p. 60, for other treatment options, and evaluate for metronidazole-resistant T. vaginalis. For laboratory and clinical consultations, contact CDC at 404-718-414 14. For HIV-positive women with trichomoniasis, metronidazole 500 mg po bid x 7 d is more ef ective than metronidazole 2 g oral y. 15. Safety in pregnancy has not been established; pregnancy category C.

15. Safety in pregnancy has not been established; pregnancy category C. 16. May weaken latex condoms and contraceptive diaphragms. 17. Cervical and intra-anal warts should be managed in consultation with specialist. 18. Counseling about natural history, asymptomatic shedding, and sexual transmission is an essential component of herpes management. 19. The goal of suppressive therapy is to reduce recurrent symptomatic episodes and/or to reduce sexual transmission. Famciclovir appears somewhat less ef ective for suppression of viral shedding.
20. If HSV lesions persist or recur during antiviral treatment, drug resistance should be suspected. Obtaining a viral isolate for sensitivity testing and consulting with an infectious disease expert is recommended.
21. Benzathine penicil in G (generic name) is the recommended treatment for syphilis not involving the central nervous system and is available in only one long-acting formulation, Bicil in® L-A (the trade name),
which contains only benzathine penicil in G. Other combination products, such as Bicil in® C-R, contain both long- and short-acting penicil ins and are not effective for treating syphilis. 22. Persons with HIV infection should be treated according to the same stage-specific recommendations for primary, secondary, and latent syphilis as used for HIV-negative persons. Available data demonstrate that additional doses of benzathine penicil in G, amoxicil in, or other antibiotics in early syphilis do not result in enhanced efficacy, regardless of HIV status. 23. Alternates should be used only for penicil in-al ergic patients because ef icacy of these therapies has not been established. Compliance with some of these regimens is difficult, and close fol ow-up is essential. If compliance or fol ow-up cannot be ensured, the patient should be desensitized and treated with benzathine penicil in. 24. Some specialists recommend 2.4 mil ion units of benazthine penicil in G q week for up to 3 weeks after completion of neurosyphilis treatment. 25. Pregnant women allergic to penicil in should be treated with penicil in after desensitization.
