What should be done with people who knowingly engage in risky sexual behavior? How do we stop them?
While many are calling for a renewed commitment to prevention efforts and free condoms, some veterans of the war on AIDS are advocating an entirely new approach to the spread of unsafe sex, much of which is fueled by a surge in methamphetamine abuse. They want to track down those who knowingly engage in risky behavior and try to stop them before they can infect others.It is a radical idea, born of desperation, that has been gaining ground in recent months as a growing number of gay men become infected despite warnings about unsafe sex.
Although gay advocates and health care workers are just beginning to talk about how this might be done, it could involve showing up at places where impromptu sex parties happen and confronting the participants. Or it might mean infiltrating Web sites that promote gay hookups and thwarting liaisons involving crystal meth.

Would you call them out on your blog, radio show or through other forms of public stockades?
According to GAYBC Radio, Sullivan, who is HIV+, placed profiles at Bareback City and AOL expressing his interest in meeting partners for bareback sex. GAYBC verified that the profiles were Sullivan's by having two people meet him through those profiles.GAYBC attempted to contact Sullivan during a recent broadcast to respond, and while they were discussing the matter on air, the profiles suddenly disappeared. Fortunately, a number of people saved them while they were still up, and they are mirrored on this site.
