Hello,
Thank you for your query at DoctorSpring.com
I understand your concern.
Yes, if the parasites are not treated, partners in close contact can harbor the same parasites as they are transmitted feco-orally.
If they have been treated with antihelminthics like Albendazole, then there is no worry.
Hope this was helpful,
Regards.
