Agrees Harold Highland, editor of Computers & Security magazine: "We ain't seen nothing...

"If you fear you are going to lose your job and just about everything else in your life," says Katherine Franke of the New York City Human Rights Commission, "there is no incentive to take the test and get information about safe sex and needle use."
