The local board shall cause an examination to be made of every person reasonably
suspected, on the basis of epidemiological investigation, of having any sexually transmitted

If a person suspected of having a sexually transmitted disease or infection refuses to submit
to an examination voluntarily, application may be made by the local board to the district
court for an order compelling the person to submit to examination and, if infected, to
treatment. The person shall be treated until certified as no longer infectious to the local
board or to the department. If treatment is ordered by the district court, the attending health
care provider shall certify that the person is no longer infectious.
