Trouble in paradise?
The thrice-All-American, No. 1 Wired City of Destiny can add another label to its tourism brochure: "Most Sexually Healthy."
The public tribute to Tacoma’s private parts comes from Self magazine . . . .
"Wow, that takes my breath away," said Dr. Federico Cruz-Uribe, director of the Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department. "That would be shocking to me." . . . .
Cruz-Uribe said Tacoma has done well in the fight to control some diseases, such as AIDS, but still has higher-than-normal levels of chlamydia and gonorrhea.
"Our AIDS rates are low. We have done well with AIDS, but even one case is one too many," Cruz-Uribe said. "Our chlamydia and gonorrhea rates aren’t necessarily very low." - The News Tribune, November 21, 2006
It should be stressed that Dr. Cruz-Uribe of the Health Department does not speak for the Tacoma Tourist Bureau or
Self magazine.
