Senate Bill No. 305 amends Chapter 441A of the Nevada Revised Statutes to allow a health care provider to provide a patient diagnosed with an STD with a prescription for treatment of that STD to their sexual partner without examining the partner. (Introduced March 16, 2009)

Regulations incorporate by reference: (1) APHA’s CCD Manual; (2) AAP’s "1997 Red Book; (3) CDC STD Treatment Guidelines as of Sept. 1, 1989. Any revision to the above guidelines is effective 10 days after its revision unless the state health officer files an objection with the state board of health.
Nev. Admin. Code § 441A.200

CDC STD Treatment Guidelines heralded as the “standard of care” for the treatment of STDs in Nevada.

All health care providers must follow Chlamydia and gonorrhea treatment guidelines in STD Treatment Guidelines, MMWR, 1989. Nev. Admin. Code §§ 441A.490, 441A.540.

Requires patient name on label of prescription. Nev. Rev. Stat. § 639.2353(2)(d)

EPT is permissible.

Administrative regulations mandate adherence to the CDC STD Treatment Guidelines, as revised, for the treatment of chlamydia and gonorrhea. These regulations, plus the state health department’s use of CDC guidelines as standard of care, and lack of contrary statutory or regulatory provisions, suggest EPT is permissible.
