SOcial workers were prevented from telling partners that they sex partners were HIV positive. That was/is and continues to be MURDER. I've seen enough of it and I'm fed up with the excuses. Public health information in the specific and the general is a priority 1 public safety need. Everything else to my ears is utter nonsense and in fact dangerous. The health department, as far as I'm concerned, can ask for any information it wants. Unless your showing me that this information is being miss used, or used legally, I'm ABSOLUTELY not interested. In fact, they need to flush HIPPA which is just stupid. Ruben ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
