One (Very Controversial) Way to Track HIV's Spread
 
 

"Lawmakers in Indonesia's remote province of Papua have thrown their support behind a controversial bill requiring some HIV/AIDS patients to be implanted with microchips — part of extreme efforts to monitor the disease. Local health workers and AIDS activists called the plan 'abhorrent.' [...] The technical and practical details still need to be hammered out, but if the proposed legislation gets a majority vote as expected, it will be enacted next month, he and others said." [AP]

Well, that will surely encourage people to get tested! And after all, with HIV & AIDS, as long as you don't know you're infected, it can't harm you or anyone else, right? Sounds like a brilliant idea – surprised we didn't come up with it in America first.
