We should turn to 10 minutes of smoothly impassioned piety and Slickly compassionate pm in the Iky Robertson and Jackson bet our preacher can whup j our preacher c new York Flint health officials proposal to limit aids has flaws it should not s a apr be that yet another suggestion is being made on the matter of How to control the spread of aids which disease it is estimated the economist of London will claim 2so.om american lives in the next eight years if it continues to spread Al the cur rent rate. Bui the very latest proposal the association of slate and territorial health officials raises questions thai give one pause never mid a a Init Sive the concern for containing the spread of the disease. What the association will propose it is Learned is not Only to record the names of infected individuals but to notify to quo Mars enc cimons of the los Angeles times their sexual news of this exc Culic proposal having leaked the juror begins. Although is recommendations do not have Llie Force of Law the organization of members the top health officials of every slate have the authority to implement most Public health policy in heir individual states the times reports. And he proposal of the a Cash officers is to encourage inc blood tests on a voluntary basis in order to identify those persons who Are infected and thus potentially and then having done this the association would discreetly inform. Persons who May have been recently exposed either sexually or sharing Needles to someone who is Htlv-3 antibody while not impugning the to lives of the association of stale and tcrri1 trial health officials the group has not pc been accused of being an 4/ili. Gay front for the moral majority it docs seem unreasonable to suppose that any suck thing Asil envisions coulis Possi Bly be done if John is tested John Havig value Cerf arid is to be infected and possibly infectious he would be asked with whom had he since when shared a Needle or Hail sex. We know from the figures that homosexual Gojii acts lend to be vastly More frequent than heterosexual contacts among those Gays who continue in traditional life vie. To begin to ask Wilh whom John might have had con acl is in the first place a question to which a reliable answer is no Means predictable he might not even know the names of those Wilh whom he had had such Contact. And then to track Down such a list As he volunteered is a most awfully Messy assignment certainly not one that could Wilh any plausible Hope of Success be undertaken confidentially. Moreover one reasonably asks what is one then to say to those with whom John has had coi Wacl 7 if they have already been inf cycled then there is nothing now known in science Hal can help them. The association documents is yet unpublished might argue that such persons might be warned Hal they have had Contact with an infected person. One understands the implications of this the association is saying we can Tell Jim Joe Gus and Adam your pal John has got the infection. You May also have in. If you do better take a blood lest and find Oul. F you test negative then beware in the future of such As John. That sounds to me like a pc try roundabout Way of going after the desired results which is to limit the infection a spokesman for the association says preemptively that much Loo much is already being made of the projected report and that after All Public health officials have a longtime history of keeping records confidential and that in a always been Standard practice to try to track Down pos sible victim if b grocery store has been isolated that sold a Hundred cans of Salmon of the kind in which botulism has been selected one routinely expects nationwide manhunt. True but the primary purpose of these is to warn against those Cam of Salmon. Docs that metaphor extend to the friends of john1 a while ago i suggested Hal those infected Wilh the virus be tattooed intend ing what the association intends namely to guard against inadvertent contamination. Mine was not so much a proposal its an exploration what docs society do to protect those who arc not infected from those who Are rep. Robert Dornan r-calif., on a re cent television program acknowledged that the Tattoo however discreetly situated would be More effective than any alternative recently proposed but that the idea suffers fatally from its apparently inseparable conned Ion with the concentration Camps. I suppose we Are All Lucky that it was not the nazis who invented hoi water. In any Cuenl he suggested that All who tested positive be Given identification cards. The idea being that before sharing a Needle or sex with John one would pause to say May i see your health identification card a dismal speculation but when one Suc Cumbs to the temptation of being 1a?.y about in Bear in mind that someone who is uninfected As he reads this will be infected and someone who knows he is potentially infectious.1c uru Vafi i cart
