Cyrus Sullivan is the creator of online STD carrier database with the ominous tagline, "If we know, you will." Sullivan, of Oregon, founded the site after a roll in the hay with an infected mate. He claims that his partner did not inform him that she was infected with herpes, and had been for over a year, until after their steamy, contagious encounter.
Sullivan’s site hasn’t amounted to much beyond a few unsuspecting citizens and a handful of porn stars, but he hopes that the idea will "catch." It’s only a matter of time before jilted lovers are lining up and reporting away and Valtrex is offering sponsorship.
