And you thought spam mail was bad!
An Internet-based company is offering a unique service to those just diagnosed with an STD: e-cards to notify their partners that they need to be tested.
The site— www.InSpot.org —was created by sex educator Deb Levine, author of a book called The Joy of Cybersex, and Dr. Jeffrey D. Klausner, director of STD Prevention and Control Services for the San Francisco Department of Public Health.
The service originally launched in San Francisco in 2004 to serve the gay community, but it has since broadened to include heterosexuals and cities across North America.
One e-card reads: “Who? What? When? Where? It doesn’t matter. I got an STD; you might have it too. Please get checked out.”
Recipients can then click links to learn more about STDs, possible treatments, and clinics in their cities where they can be tested.
