So is this private? Technically yes, as long as the testing centers don't give out the client's personal information without permission, but once a person's identifying information is out of their control, how does anyone know how protected it is?

 

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) collate data about sexually transmitted diseases for use in education and prevention programs. Both organizations need a certain amount of information in order to do this. Advocates of record keeping for such data collection say that identifying information needs to be gathered as to accurately report STD statistics. Proponents of privacy say that anonymous testing would still gather demographic and lifestyle information, while leaving the person with their privacy.

Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum. It has often been called “the great imitator” because so many of the signs and symptoms are indistinguishable from those of other diseases.
