Absolutely egregious.

pushing Aetna to correct the mistake How?
I understand that America likes to make things right through the "gimme money" approach -- but "correct the mistake"? I don't think you actually can.

Absolutely egregious. Yep, private information of all type is no longer private and is minimally protected online.

I guess Aetna never heard of HIPAA.

Uh oh. Do you recommend using keywords for preposting search to avoid dupes, or maybe both title and keywords? Ha ha, I think I have just saved you the trouble of typing a reply.

Plenty of straights get HIV - through tainted blood and whatnot. One reason the mere thought of blood banks allowing queers to donate is outrageous...

The disturbing aspect of this situation is that innocent people were infected by inconsiderate/unethical partners and, in the eighties, innocent recipients of contaminated blood products were infected. Risky behavior is one thing; collateral fallout is another matter entirely. That’s what frosts me.

There used to be joke envelopes you could buy years ago that said ...”YOUR SYPHILIS TEST RESULTS ARE INSIDE!” and other such goodies. Great for mailing to your boss and others.
To: ClearCase_guy
Formatting mistake on the mailmerge? I don’t know. But this is a Hippa violation for every single one, as it should be. They need to pay for the mistake of some IT person who formatted and didn’t take into effect the envelope. Stupid.

I recall hearing an interview on a radio program many years ago- back in the late 70s, I think, in which a militant homosexual said that they planned to donate blood as often and widely as possible to infect straights. That, he said, was the only way AIDS research would be adequately funded.
Also remember that before AIDS it was called GRID- Gay Related Immuno Deficiency.

Compared to hiring a Chicom firm to be system administrator on the OMB computers that held my security clearance data?

Do you remember when folks would have subscriptions for gay magazines to their bosses? Do you recall “The B*stard SysAdmin from Hell”? We did have great fun in those days adding multiple zeroes to their utility bills.
