The 3T's to
prevent the spread of STDs:
Ecards are another option in Florida for informing partners that they may have
been exposed to an STD. Electronic cards are sent confidentially. inSPOT is the
first online STD partner notification system that uses electronic postcards
(sometimes called e-cards). InSPOT is a unique online STD/HIV partner
notification that encourages individuals to take a more active role in their
sexual health and communicate disease status to their partner(s). This new
approach will enhance, not replace traditional partner notification services
offered by STD staff. For more information visit
http://www.inspot.org/Florida.
In
addition to the tools available on this site, please visit the CDC's STD
Awareness Month website that provides a central location for STD Awareness Month
information.
The site:
o Provides information for STD Awareness Month and suggestions for year-round
activities,
o Draws attention to racial disparities (STD disparities reports are available
for download),
o Offers communication tools (e.g. list of key messages, radio scripts, sample
press release),
o Makes STD publications (reports, brochures and posters) available for download
(you may also place an online order for free brochures),
o Includes e-card services (send an electronic card to alert to your community,
community leaders and local media of STD awareness activities in your area), and
o Highlights important STD resources (includes campaign materials from other
states).
