I overheard a coworker taking about an MPD officer in his family. That according to him, the Miller Time Pub & Grill on Wisconsin Ave is rife with talent. I've personally arranged for a massage in the hotel upstairs, so I'm sure it's true, to a degree.
So what are the lively cocktail lounges and bars right now? Once the DNC circus comes to town, it'll probably be any downtown drinking hole.
What all happens if you per chance catch an std / sti and go to the drs. Do they contact your spouse for getting treatment? Do you get a letter in the mail? Anyone know?

Doctors are required to report public health hazards.

I had a test a couple months ago (came back clean while still in office for visit) and they sent me results in mail a week later and also called me back and left an automated message saying no issues / follow up needed. If you do test positive for something and disclose the people who you were sexually active with recently, I think they will contact, especially if it is something serious. Not sure though.

[QUOTE=GPSlikesy;4373234]Is against the form policy to say which provider may have given you an STD? I think a warning to the rest of us is only right.[/QUOTE]I think it is. With incubation periods for these things it could be considered rumor mongering. That's not the type of mongers we strive to be. But I would appreciate a heads up pm.

[QUOTE=ShortIrish;4377443]Contacting anyone, including a spouse, without your permission is a HIPPA violation.[/QUOTE]HIPAA specifically recognizes Public Health Authorities and the State Laws that require reporting of STDs amongst other things.
While this may not include your spouse, WI law does allow for public health authorities to have you committed, and refusal to get treatment can end up with the sheriff knocking on your door with a warrant. Yea, the sheriff can't tell why. But I think that would just make it more uncomfortable.
[QUOTE=ShortIrish;4377443]Contacting anyone, including a spouse, without your permission is a HIPPA violation.[/QUOTE]Chlamydia. Chlamydia trachomatis.
Gonorrhea. Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
Syphilis. Treponema pallidum.
Chancroid. Haemophilus ducreyi.
Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID).
In WI, these 5 STI's are class II reportable diseases, requiring a physician to notify the Local Health Department within 72 hours. The recommended course of action for Local Health Departments is to follow up with the patient and try to get a sexual history. They will then notify the partners without naming the patient to protect privacy. That's all well and good until they contact your wife and the only person she's had sex with is you.

Public Health then contacts the monger to try to trace back the disease. Can someone with real knowledge clarify?

I have read many places that it can happen but I would like to know the % likelihood. Is it 1% or 5% or 50% or 90% ?

I do know for a fact you can contact ghonnera through a BBBJ. Because its happened to me. It's an easy fix with antibiotics but still no fun.
