<DIV>Dear John,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thank you for voicing on this forum your feelings on this matter. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>You are right about confidentiality. The Health Department is so wonderful in testing and counseling for a lot of things. Not just HIV. They care! There are laws that govern the individual to keep his privacy safe and secure. Any questions, call the health department. 882-7506.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If the media does not go "postal" on this particular matter immediately, more and more people will move away and never know the possibility they could be infected. This is serious. This needs to be taken very seriously.</DIV>

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This HIV situation is horrible and scary. Im worried, however, that</DIV>
<DIV>our myopic reaction is making it bigger and bader than it really is.</DIV>
<DIV>Shelly is right, we shouldnt bury our heads in the sand (or snow), on</DIV>
<DIV>this issue. However, hyperbole is not the answer either.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>HIV testing and education are absolutely necessary. We must respect</DIV>
<DIV>individuals privacy (HEAR ME KLEW!), and offer safe, caring support.</DIV>
<DIV>What is done is done. The next step is to get people tested so that we</DIV>
<DIV>limit further spread.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This is an enlightening experience. Every person in this community who</DIV>
<DIV>has behaved irresponsibly in the past has, no doubt, learned a powerful</DIV>
<DIV>lesson. Lets do more than just hope the impact is small; let's find</DIV>
<DIV>out for sure, thus ridding ourselves of a possible stigma. Lets</DIV>
<DIV>accomplish this by maintaining a safe environment by caring about</DIV>
<DIV>privacy and safety. If people feel that their confidentiality is</DIV>
<DIV>jeopardized, they will not get tested. Thank you, Phil and Shelly, for</DIV>
<DIV>being proactive and prosocial through all of this.</DIV>
