Two Florida newspapers mysteriously received a confidential list of 4-thousand people with AIDS. Copies of computer disk with names of AIDS patients in the Tampa area were shipped anonymously to the Tampa and St. Petersburg papers. The shipper said a state worker was distributing the list outside a gay bar. The papers did not publish the lists, but AIDS groups are worried that the breach in confidentiality will discourage people from getting tested. Sally Watt of member station WUSF reports.
