Military Personnel And Their Partners Can Not Get Quality Treatment

Military Personnel And Their Partners Can Not Get Quality Treatment.
A medical doctor with practice caring for armed forces personnel says the US military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" regulation puts both service members and the prevalent public at risk by encouraging secrecy about sexual health issues. "Infections go undiagnosed. Service members and their partners go untreated," Dr Kenneth Katz, a doctor at San Diego State University and the University of California at San Diego, wrote in a commentary published Dec 1, 2010 in the New England Journal of Medicine.

And civilians "pay a price" because they have mating with employ members who feel nostalgia for out on programs aimed at preventing the spread of the HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, as well as other sexually transmitted diseases. The soldiery is currently pondering the end of the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy, which does not brook gay service members to serve openly. No one knows how many gays are in the armed forces. However, one 2002 scan found that active-duty Navy sailors made up 9 percent of the patients who visited one vivid men's health clinic in San Diego.
