'Cleaning' San Francisco
San Francisco officials have taken several steps to curb infection, such as requiring sex clubs and adult bookstores to supply condoms and lubricant to all patrons and enforce a policy of "no unprotected anal or vaginal intercourse" on their premises. Club and bookstore staff must also attend city-led educational sessions on safe sex. City officials also sent a letter to area physicians last month asking them to test all sexually active gay male patients for syphilis twice a year, as well as testing anyone with a "rash-like syndrome" that could signal secondary syphilis infection. The city health department has also devoted more staff to syphilis prevention and asked the CDC for more funds. It is also launching a "Spring Cleaning" campaign next month to promote STD testing (Ornstein, Los Angeles Times, 3/27).
