The AIDS exception: Privacy vs. Public Health

...It is evidence, however, that medical interventions
make a palpable difference -- and is all the more reason to start
subjecting AIDS, from a public-health perspective, to
more-systematic procedures.

The MALE Center tools up
http://malecenter.org

SINCE ITS JUNE OPENING, BOSTON'S LOCAL COMMUNITY
CENTER HAS A GROWING FOLLOWING AND HOPES TO OPEN A
CYBER CAFE SOON...
...
...In the next couple of months, Perkins sees the Center unveiling
its cyber cafe, making desktop and laptop computers with Internet
access available for men to use, and additional
entertainment-specific events are also in the works.


But perhaps what Perkins is most proud of is the increasing
number of men using the Center for its rapid-result HIV test.

Offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays each week, men can take this
test, receive HIV risk management counseling, and learn their
status all within the span of an hour.

It's just one of the revolutionary advancements pioneered by
the employees and volunteers who staff the Center...
...

The Male Center is
open Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2 to 8 p.m.
Wednesdays from 3 to 8 p.m.
Fridays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
on the first and third Saturdays of each month from 12 to 6 p.m.
and is closed on Sundays and Mondays.

It is located at 571 Columbus Avenue, near the intersection of
Massachusetts and Columbus Avenues

While no appointments are needed, services are made available
on a first-come-first-serve basis.
