The article discusses a Michigan law requiring people who are HIV-positive to notify their sexual partners about their HIV-positive status, focusing on the law's connection to social control. The author addresses various public health surveillance strategies employed by health officials in order to identify HIV-positive people, including discussions of HIV testing, sexual contact tracing, and phone reports accusing residents of being HIV-positive.
