ABOUT THIS SITE
Talking to your sex partners, in person, by phone or
online, helps take away the stigma associated with HIV and other STDs. And
it's scientifically proven to reduce transmission.
TIPS ABOUT THE SITE
- You can send electronic postcards ("ecards") anonymously or from your email address. Generally, when you identify yourself, it's more likely your sex partner(s) will "hear" the message and get tested.
- Notify everyone you've had sex with in the past six months. For STDs especially, oral sex counts, too.
- Try looking through your old emails and your online address book to complete the list.
- If you decide to compose a personal message, put yourself in the other person's shoes. Think about how you were told—what you liked and what you didn't—and put the best of it into words.
- You don't have to provide detailed medical info—this email card will automatically provide links to what they need to know.
- No personally-identifiable information will be collected or shared with any public or private agency.
