Correct answer: E — Treat chlamydia and arrange partner notification

Chlamydia should be treated when detected, with partner notification and advice to avoid sex until treatment is completed according to regimen. Waiting for partner results risks ongoing transmission. Ceftriaxone alone treats gonorrhoea rather than chlamydia. The pearl is that STI management includes contact tracing, not just antibiotics.
