Good time at a party last moth?  Perhaps it was a great time even?  And perhaps now you’ve got some…residual issues?  And perhaps you’re embarrassed and don’t want to call up and say, “Um, so hey!  I may have left you drunk on the couch that night, but my syphilis may still be with you!”  So what are you to do?

Thank you The Internets for coming to the rescue once again!  This is one of those great things like inmate greeting cards which really lets The Internets shine (or the Google news bar for all the zany articles!).  Instead of making that awkward phone call, just send them an anonymous STD email.  inSpot.org is a site dedicated to allowing you to do just that.  They’ve got rather plain to rather spicy versions of the messages.  I’m not really sure what the best approach is–sending the sterile doctor’s office version or the half-naked man in a towel…but hey you’ve got options!

Further empowering the receiver, if you’re in one of a number of cities supported by the site you can be linked directly to information on where and how to get tested.  Apparently some health clinics would do the calling for you, but this online method not only allows the sender to still remain anonymous, but frees up health workers to be doing other things.

Of course, if everyone outside of real America would just practice abstinence until marriage, which works, clearly, the world wouldn’t need a tool such as this.  But until that day, just know there are resources out there to help!

Here’s my great idea: the anonymous Twitter STD stream–make a new account, add all your hookups, then tweet about your infected meat.
