Reply To: Given a single dose but I read women should get seven days

Your reading is right about the current CDC position. For women the recommendation moved to a seven day course rather than the single dose, because the trial comparing them found the longer course roughly halved the proportion of women testing positive again at the follow up visit.

For men the single dose is still the recommended approach.
