------- Start of forwarded message ------- Mailing-List: list GayMensHealthSummit at yahoogroups.com Bay City News San Francisco New E-Tool To Help Gay Men Inform Partners About STD's http://www.inspot.org/tell-them/ Oct. 6 (BCN) -- San Francisco health officials have kicked off a new "hip, funny, and to-the-point" way for gay men to inform their partners that they might have been exposed to a sexually transmitted disease. The Department of Public Health's STD Services Web site http://www.inspot.org http://www.inspot.org/tell-them/ will allow men diagnosed with an STD to notify their partners via electronic postcard that they need to get tested.

That's just sick. "Hee hee! I've got something hilarious to tell you! I just tested HIV+ and I'm pretty sure I gave it to you! Isn't that a riot?!?" I can understand the health department's attempt to notify victims via e-mail, as direct confrontation by the perpetrator is likely to result in a shooting. Still, I wonder if that wouldn't be better, as it would remove him from the population and prevent him from infecting others. |
