Reply To: Partner tested positive, I tested negative. Do I still get treated?

Take the treatment. This is standard and it has a name, treating on the basis of exposure rather than on the basis of your result.

The reason is timing. If the exposure was recent, there may not be enough there to detect yet. A negative test the day after your partner’s diagnosis is not the reassurance it looks like.
