STD's are spreading rapidly and too many people don't even know they have one - whether they're having casual sex or have a loving partner. Although there is no law that requires you to tell someone you have an STD, it is the right thing to do. Is it fair to let your partner go on thinking nothing is wrong with them when you know you have an STD? Many STD's can be treated or cured which could prevent infection to your next partner - saving them time, money and a bad experience.

If you are troubled, embarrassed, and/or afraid of the repercussion of telling a person that "I may have exposed you to an STD and you should get tested" face-to-face, over the phone or even through e-mail, then do it anonymously through inSPOT E-Cards. Of course it would be better to tell them personally since they will be more likely to hear you message, but any kind of notification will have them thinking about going to get tested. You can send these e-cards anonymously and don't have to provide detailed medical information. The e-card will automatically provide links to what they need to know. Please do not brush of telling someone that they may have been exposed to an STD. I know you would like to know if have been infected and if you put someone else at risk. You can get treatment and prevent giving it to someone else you care about.

If you don't want to tell them personally, please consider inSpot E-cards and visit inSpot.org to find out more information.
