Correct answer: C — Treat chlamydia and arrange partner notification

A positive chlamydia NAAT should be treated and partner notification arranged to prevent reinfection and transmission. Symptoms are not required for treatment. The pearl is that uncomplicated chlamydia is often asymptomatic, so contact tracing is part of effective management.
