Correct answer: A — Ceftriaxone 1 g intramuscularly once plus doxycycline and metronidazole for 14 days
UK outpatient PID treatment uses ceftriaxone 1 g intramuscularly once with doxycycline 100 mg twice daily and metronidazole 400 mg twice daily for 14 days. Treatment should not wait for swab results. Review at about 72 hours, provide analgesia, test for STIs and arrange partner notification.
