On the subject of identifying someone as having some specific medical condition...... How would/should the following be handled.

...

There is not clearing house set up that we can use to check out prospective dates in the civy world.

This board DOES exist as an information exchange about providers though. Originally Posted by Whispers

Although it matters where he got it You are missing the point.

It matters who he was with that he may have exposed to it.

Naming those people is an alert to them as well as others.

I'll assume the former

if a member came forward

and publicly stated he/she had been diagnosed with DiseaseOfTheDayXYZ

and then listed all those member's of the community that he/she had contact with......

Nothing more than that.....

Exactly what they might ask for at any health clinic......

Could the thread and all the names stand?

SHOULD the thread and all the names stand?

How serious are you about believing in the information being available to make this all safer for everyone? Originally Posted by Whispers

Ideally, what we should have, is a system like they have in Nevada, where all (legal) providers are required to be STD tested every thirty days. Perhaps as a condition of membership here or on P411...but I doubt the owners of these sites would like to handle the logistical nightmare that would be.

Completely agree did we not learn anything from the whole GFX debacle!!!
