Department of public health Of
ficials said the procedure is "prl-
vate and simple" for marriage
minded couples. Just make an ap-
pointment with any doctor and he
does the rest. Privacy is insured
because revealing of examination
information is a misdemeanor.
The doctor takes a blood sample
and sends it to any approved lab
oratory. chosen by the applicant if
he wishes. The laboratory sends
back a report to the doctor and the
department of health.
If the result is negative, showing
that syphilis either is not present
or is in a infectious stage, the
doctor issues certificate to be
presented at the county marriage
license bureau. 1t may be presented
either at the time Of application for
license or when the license itself
is issued, but must show the test
has been made within 30 days of
application.
Even if there is a positive result,
it was explained. marriage plans
may be merely postponed rather
than abandoned if treatment is
started Immediately. Syphilis in
early stages becomes infectious
under treatment in rather short
time.
The test may be waived by a
superior court judge in special
cases.
III addition to a private physician
doctors in free clinics, medical
members OF hospital and local
health bureau staffs may make the
examinat tion. The blood test may
be made in approved private lab
oratories, free local public health
laboratories, or the state laboratory
at Berkeley.
Oregon adopted such a law two
years ago and other states have
similar statutes.
The prenatal law requires every
physician or other person engaged
In prenatal care of pregnant
woman to obtain a blood specimen
at the time OF the first professional
visit or within 10 days thereafter
The same provisions for secrecy,
penalty, and laboratories apply as
