People who are worried that they may have put someone's sexual health at risk can now notify sexual partners using an anonymous text messaging service.
Virgin Care's Oldham, Bury and Rochdale and Teesside Sexual Health Services are piloting the new digital partner notification tool, which they hope will reduce the spread of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in the area.
Patients testing positive for an STI will be offered the chance to have previous sexual partners notified that they are at risk anonymously.
