Disclosing an STI to a Partner

Disclosing an STI to a Partner

Please submit your assignment here. Keep in mind that your paper will be checked for plagiarism using Turnitin.

Write a dialogue between someone who has just discovered he/she has an STI and his/her sexual partner. In writing your dialogue, feel free to include any emotional reactions you could imagine the person and his/her partner experiencing in this situation.

Be sure to include the following factual information:

How did the person discover he/she has an STI?
What types of symptoms could the STI cause for him/her and his/her partner?
What kinds of treatments are available for the person and his/her partner?
Where should the partner go to be tested (think about specific places)?
*Be specific in your responses. For example, if STI A is treated with drugs, mention what kind of drug, what it does, and so forth. Avoid making statements such as, “STI A is treated with medicine,” without examples and further detail

Your assignment will be graded on the following criteria:

Your assignment should be written in 12-point Times New Roman, double-spaced, and 1-inch margins.
You need to write a minimum of 650 words. 2 points will be deducted for every 50 words below the word limit. For example: 600-649 words @ 2 point deduction, 549-599 words @ 4 points deduction.

You may write a maximum of 1400 words. Anything written beyond 1400 words will not be counted towards the assignment’s points.

You may use script form. Remember that this is a dialogue. Here is an example of what your paper may look like:
Romeo: “Hey, do you have a minute? I, uh, need to talk to you about something.”

Juliette: “Of course! What’s on your mind?”

Romeo: “Well, I’ve been having some itching, and some burning when I pee, so I just got back from the Health Center…”

And so forth.

Make sure to properly use quotes or denote the conversational portions in an acceptable manner.
Do your research for all four questions. Make sure to fully answer each question throughout the dialogue.
Assignments must be submitted before the deadline. Late submission will result in a deduction of 2 points per day.
Important notes:

Plagiarism will not be tolerated. Any student found guilty of plagiarizing (i.e., a Turnitin match percentage higher than 25%) will lose points or receive no credit for the assignment, depending on the severity of the problem.
All students are encouraged to view the assignment rubric for full details on how papers will be graded.
