[Vision2020] Department of Health Question

Mon Dec 12 09:01:36 PST 2005

Janesta,

Statistics are not a matter of the incident. It happened. YES IT IS A WAKE
UP CALL.

I can tell you there are many girls asking many questions at the club that
Phil and I are are not educated enough to answer. We refer them to the
health department. Hopefully they call there. I have put in a call to them
this morning to get some information at least what to tell these girls. I am
in great hopes they have a plan to get the word and knowledge out to the
public. Putting up posters/flyers in the bars in Moscow is out. A news
reporter has contacted Phil as he is the only bar who posted Kenay's picture
along with the Daily News article and a phone number to call. The reporter
informed Phil she was told by the other bars, "that it would hurt business."
If any other bars, businesses are listening, Vision 2020 would love to hear
from you. Yes, Phil is giving them an interview today.

I have also mentioned to the Detective on this case that I am sure UoI keeps
records of all the students. Maybe they could send a letter to all the
students from the past five years. The Detective told me today he would be
contacting UoI.

If a female slept with an HIV positive person and then slept with another
male who slept with another female................... on and on ............
.. could the virus be passed? I don't want to hear "statistics." Yes or no
will do.

Janesta, thank you for caring enough to keep this thread going. Our
community should not be asleep on this one.

I am more than curious. Does anyone know the role of
the Department of Health regarding the recent HIV
incident? Will posters be put up in the businesses
Kanay frequented, to inform women who may have had
intimate contact with him?

I strongly feel education is the key to reaching these
women, and was wondering who was taking charge of
this? I have read the paper, and seen the TV. What of
those student’s who are in dead week, or don’t read
the paper, or watch TV?

If anyone knows, or has ideas, I am interested in
hearing answers and ideas. I think the HIPPA laws are
very important. However, he has been arrested, and is
in jail, as those of us who read vision2020 know. He
is HIV+ and has had relations with unsuspecting women,
(who should have used condoms, or abstained
 but that
is another letter).

This is something Moscow hasn’t faced before. We can
use this incident as a way to catalyze our community
into action, as a team, or bury our heads in the sand
and act as if this never happens. I would venture to
guess, Kanay is not the first, nor will he be the last
person to do this. Either, knowingly or unknowingly. I
sincerely hope the bar owners take responsible action,
put posters up, and educate people. It is
uncomfortable. A business owner may wonder if they
will lose business. I think they will gain respect,
for being pro-active.

I have lived in a safe little bubble, my community of
Moscow, for over 40 years. The bubble has been burst.
It is in my face, in spite of whether I want it there
or not. Africa is a long way away. We don’t see the
suffering there. HIV is not in some faraway land
fellow citizens; it is HERE!

We can argue about statistics of condom use, no use,
or abstinence. Makes no difference, people are going
to be sexually active regardless of our personal
beliefs.

If someone hears about a plan, please let me know.

Thanks!
