PINK NEWS - Nov 29 - The GMFA Sexual Health Messaging Service, which allows men to alert previous partners when they are diagnosed with an infection, is set to be rolled out to more clinics and websites with funding from the Elton John AIDS Foundation. The GMFA has worked with Gaydar, Fitlads, Recon and Manhunt. After receiving a diagnosis at a clinic, the system offers users a unique PIN code to access the online SHMS service. Once there, contact details for recent sexual partners can be typed in, from mobile phone numbers to profile names. Messages can be sent anonymously, but the GMFA says the recipient may be more likely to take action if a name is included.

There is a similar "partner notification type" service in mainly the US called www.Inspot.org --- but to my knowledge, anyone can use it. Whereas, the GMFA service requires a clinic to confirm your status and then allows you to notify....smart system and I'm curious what the 7 clinic trial will show.
