At last something useful...
Independent Online Edition > Americas: U've got mail: how America is facing up to STDs
You have an embarrassing problem. You have just been diagnosed with a sexually transmitted disease. Worse, you've been sleeping around, so other people are at risk and they need to be told.
Problem is, you barely know them. You certainly don't feel up to a sit-down heart-to-heart about your condition and what they might want to do to check themselves out.
What to do? California's health authorities have found a solution that keeps awkward communication to a minimum: an email service that tells your recent partners what the problem is and commits you to nothing, not even to give your name if you don't want to.
Called Inspot, the service consists of a choice of six e-cards with messages ranging from the jokey to the sombre. One depicts a close-up photograph of household screws with the message: 'I got screwed while screwing. You might have, too'.
Another depicts a suntanned, well-toned man holding a towel up to his buttocks. The caption: 'You're too hot to be out of action. I got diagnosed with STD since we played. You might want to get checked, too.'
The free service invites users to specify their diagnosis from a list ranging from minor irritation (chlamydia, crabs) to gonorrhoea, syphilis and HIV. You can give your name and add a personal message if you wish.
The service began on an experimental basis in San Francisco a year ago and is now, after 20,000 emails, undergoing a major expansion. Los Angeles unveiled its version last week, and Seattle, Philadelphia and Indianapolis are set to follow in the New Year.
Public health is a precarious business in a country devoted to the idea that private enterprise can solve all social and economic problems. But sexual health, especially in California, where the Aids epidemic took off in the 1980s, is one area where the authorities are loath to mess around.

What's missing from the White House Christmas card? Christmas.
This month, as in every December since he took office, President Bush sent out cards with a generic end-of-the-year message, wishing 1.4 million of his close friends and supporters a happy 'holiday season.'

Many people are thrilled to get a White House Christmas card, no matter what the greeting inside. But some conservative Christians are reacting as if Bush stuck coal in their stockings.
'This clearly demonstrates that the Bush administration has suffered a loss of will and that they have capitulated to the worst elements in our culture,' said William A. Donohue, president of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights."
