There's a website that allows you to anonymously send an e-card to the people you've slept with in order to alert them to the fact that you have an STD and that they should probably get tested.I'm gonna go send this out to some of my exes as soon as I finish throwing links up on this post. Haha.
InSpot.org, which was created by the San Francisco Internet Sexuality Information Services, hopes to provide an easy and responsible solution for people who need to notify former (current?) partners that they may have been exposed to an STD.InSpot.org uses the E-Card model to send messages like "I'm So Sorry" to notify people that they may have been exposed to a disease. It also offers information about getting tested and treatment.
"Making use of some of the emerging technologies makes sense," said Sue Blank, of New York's Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. "We're getting the word out to the community."Blank hopes the site will help to reduce new syphilis infections in New York which rose by 56 percent during the first half of the current fiscal year.Users of the site, which went online in San Francisco in 2004, can choose from a selection of messages.
"It provides an easy, convenient, anonymous way for people to be responsible about notifying their partners about a possible exposure to an STD," said Deb Levine, of the San Francisco Internet Sexuality Information Services, which created InSpot with the city's Department of Public Health.
