==Further recommendations==
As with all [[Sexually transmitted disease|STD]]'s sex partners of patients who have LGV should be examined and tested for [[urethra]]l or [[cervix|cervical]] [[chlamydia]]l infection. After a positive culture for chlamydia, clinical suspicion should be confirmed with  testing to distinguish serotype.  Antibiotic treatment should be started if they had sexual contact with the patient during the 30 days preceding onset of symptoms in the patient. Patients with a sexually transmitted disease need to be tested for other STD's.  Antibiotics are not without risks and prophylaxtic broad antibiotic coverage is not recommended.
