“Surprise! You have herpes!” Forget Christmas cards, STD Notification E-cards are all the rage.
(via inSPOT)
Well. I think it’s completely sweet. It’s like the joy of getting a birthday card. but reversed.
According to the site, you can anonymously “tell your hookups, ex’s, boyfriends, girlfriends, and partners they may have been exposed to an STD.”
The tips are pretty awesome too:
- Notify everyone you’ve had sex with in the past six months. 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.
- You can send postcards anonymously or from your email address. Historically, when you tell a sex partner(s) yourself, it’s more likely s.he will “hear” the message and get tested.
Ah well. At least the cards are cute.
