MRSA Births Watchdog
This unnecessary debate over drug-resistant staff infection MRSA led San Francisco activists to form an activist group dedicated to squashing institutionalized stigma: “The group – which hasn’t been named yet – hopes to deal with the stigma around drug-resistant staph, as well as educate and encourage communication among community members, journalists, doctors, researchers, and health department officials.” Could it be they’re filling GLAAD’s alleged void?

I’m a student at Emory University’s Rollins School of Public Health. I’m studying the application of behavioral models of social stigma derived from the HIV/AIDS epidemic as applied to the newly popularized concept of MRSA as an STD. If anyone knows the name of the interest group that is mentioned (as being currently unnamed) in this post, could you please send me an email? I am very interested to read what they have to say on the issue.
