Correct answer: A — Offer information, examination and STI testing without formal notification for warts alone
BASHH does not require formal partner notification solely for anogenital warts. Current partners may nevertheless benefit from accurate information, clinical examination if concerned and assessment or testing for other STIs. Routine HPV PCR testing, empirical treatment without lesions, mandatory abstinence until negative tests and automatic colposcopy are not recommended partner-management rules.
