D omestic P artnership
R egistrations S low
s of Oct. 13, 141 couples have taken ad
vantage of Multnomah C ounty’s new
domestic partnership registry.
The ordinance, launched Sept. 1, allows
domestic partners to certify their relationship
with the government. Same-sex couples are
allowed to register.
Both the Portland City Council and Mult
nomah County Commission unanimously
passed the ordinance in early August. Although
public testimony was welcomed, little dissent
was vocalized during the process of bringing the
issue to a vote.
Dick Levy and Larry Hohnet were the first of
several same-sex couples to register during a
press conference at the country’s marriage
license office Sept. 1. Days later, several hun
dred gathered at Portland’s City Hall to cele
brate the ordinance. Almost 100 couples regis
tered during the party.
A spokesperson for the marriage license and
domestic partnership office said registries have
leveled off in recent weeks. Couples who want
to register must be 18 years old.

D iscuss HIV P roposal
itizens have a final opportunity to testify
^ during an Oregon Health Division hearing
about HIV names reporting from 5 to 9 p.m.
Oct. 23 in Room 329 at Portland State Univer
sity’s Smith Center. The agency is considering
implementing a new policy in response to a rec
ommendation by the Centers for Disease C on
trol and Prevention.
Names reporting is done in 32 states around
the country. Epidemiologists think it helps pro
vide vital information needed in tracking the
disease.
Opponents say HIV can be tracked suffi
ciently without using individuals’ names. They
warn of confidentiality issues and worry about a
significant drop in people getting tested it names
reporting is implemented in Oregon.
T h e health division has not announced
when it plans to make a decision about the
proposal. j n
