Wow. I'm not laughing at all with this one.

More than 750 people visit the inSPOT site daily. Since 2004, the service has sent more than 49,500 e-cards. Syphilis and gonorrhea cases have each accounted for approximately 15 percent of the total cards sent, followed by chlamydia at 11.6 percent and HIV at 9.3 percent. More than half a dozen other diseases account for the rest, including crabs and scabies; hepatitis A, B and C and trichomoniasis, a parasitic STD.

...

In many locations across the country, patients diagnosed with reportable diseases like syphilis may or may not get a call from the local health department. Even if they do, and agree to identify partners, many agencies do not have the manpower to contact those people. Often, it is left to the diagnosing doctor to urge partner notification. Now, such a doctor can simply hand the patient a palm card with inSPOT’s Internet address.

The idea of it is so scary, but at the same time it makes sense when you read what brought it on.
People were meeting online for casual sex and infecting a lot of people. At least they are letting others know to get some help before it spreads further.

It's still scary and f'd up.

Well...maybe it seemed funny....
But it's scary too....
But Honestly WHAT DO THEY EXPECT?
They met up with random people and sleep with them, maybe after meeting online....Did they use protection? Most likely not?
So they where being ignorant and because of that they suffer.....
Better be safe then sorry...
But at least they are getting the email to make sure they get tested....
