Abstract
Verification of relationship status beyond self-report is an important aspect in sexually transmitted infection research, including partner treatment studies where primary sexual partners are targeted for enrollment. This exploratory study describes the use of a novel couples' verification tool in a male partner treatment study of women with recurrent bacterial vaginosis.
