Mayor, City of Carlsbad

Carlsbad, CA 92008
Dear Mayor L e
On February 9, 1988, the San Diego County Board of Supervisors took significani
to regulate bathhouses in the County of San Diego.
The cornerstone of our program is the Ordinance Relating to Bathhouses, w
expected to be effective on March 18, 1988 (Attachment A). Patterned after
Francisco ordinance, it establishes a permit process and identifies operational
ments of the bathhouses which may desire to operate in the unincorporated areas
County. Enforcement will be done jointly by the Director of Health Services
Sheriff.
The Board also adopted comprehensive guidelines which combine with Health anc
Code Sections to empower the Public Health Officer to monitor and, if necessary,
action to close all bathhouses in the county if they do not comply with the reg
(Attachment B). Similar guidelines in Los Angeles and San Francisco have not w
legal challenges so have been ineffective in controlling bathhouse operation.
Clearly, it is essential that every city take immediate action to adopt ordinances
to the County’s so that we can reduce this public health risk county-wide as
possible. Our Public Health Officer needs all available tools to begin to com
critical AIDS epidemic.
I urge your city’s immediate consideration of this matter.
provide further clarification or supplemental information to assist you.
Please let me know if
Sincerely, fim George F. Bailey

INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
As of the begining of 1988, in excess of 700 person
San Diego County have been diagnosed as persons with AID
more than half of these persons have died from this Zise
It is estimated that many more persons in the County are
with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) which is ass
with AIDS. These persons are capable of transmitting HI'
others, but some have no symptoms of AIDS and may not evc
realize that they are infected. While there is growing t
of the spread of HIV among heterosexual persons, e-g, in1
drug users, approximately 82 percent of the persons with
in the County have been identified as homosexual or bise)
men, and another approximately 8 percent of AIDS patient:
homosexual or bisexual men who are IV drug users- .
..
B
The available evidence indicates that in this Count1
. the principal means of transmission of HIV has been sexue
- course. The virus can be transmitted through both anal c
vaginal intercourse. Although HIV has been isolated in s
body fluids, including semen, vaginal fluid, blood, urine
saliva and tears, there iS no evidence of transmission ot
than by specific sexual activity, blood contamination, an
congenital means.

The San Diego County Regional Task Force on AIDS has
recommended that bathhouses and similar commercial establis1
that continue to offer an environment where the sexual pr~c!
that transmit HIV are encouraged,. facilitated, and/or kr,cyir
allowed should be permanently closed. The Department of le;
Services agrees that it is now time to restrict the sexuzl
activities in such establishments.
In taking this position, the Department of Health SEX^
P
is aware of the position taken by some persons that thes=
estzblishments should not be closed because closure mzy rtsi
in 6ecreased education to bathhouse users and that &the pzzrc
may engage in the same sexual activities in other less zzzii
locations. However, as long as these establishments reczin
and perinit the activities that pose a significant risk fcr .
transmission of HIV, they offer easy accessibility to seria
contact with individuals who are very likely to be carrykg

that the severe health risk; posed by such a situation ou-4

activities occurring in these establishments-

Officer will now take in regulating these establishments-
and Safety Code section 3110 which authorizes public heal
officers to take such actions as are necessary ts control
sbread of communicable diseases, provides authority for t
County Health Officer to enforce these Requirements in bo
unincorporated and the incorporated areas of the County u
his jurisdiction. This includes all areas of the County.
However, in order to emphasize the significance of t:
effort and to enlist all available resources, it is recom
that the City of San Diego, and any other city in which tl
establishments may be located adopt public health ordinanc
which substantially duplicate the provisions of the ordin;
adopted by the County of San Diego.
E DEFINITIOKS
The following terms as used herein shall have the fol
meanings :
A. Bathhouse or similar comercial establishments.
A “bathhouse or similar commercial establishment
shall mean any establishnent having a fixed plac
business where any person engages in, conducts,
carries on any business of providing Turkish,

establishment and not a bathhouse. "Bathhousen s
not include hospitals, nursing homes, sanitariums
or establishments where a person provides baths
pursuant to his or her unrevoked certificate to p
the healing arts under the laws of the State of
California. "Bathhouse" shall not include hotels
motels.
..
B. Restricted activity.
"Restricted activity" shall mean anal intercourse
or vaginal intercourse or oral copulation.
The use of a condom while participating in sexual
intercourse provides a means for reducing the ris
of disease transmission. Therefore, the use of
condoms has been and continues to be encouraged.
However, the degree of risk reduction depends up0
the reliability of the condom and its proper usagl
While condom usage reduces disease transmission
risk, it does not eliminate it. In an enviromen
where multiple sexual contacts with persons hzvin.
significant likelihood of being HIV positive are
possible, anal, oral or vaginal intercourse even 7
condom may pose an unacceptable risk for eventual
virus transmission-
Additionally, to prosecribe such sexual activity
only when a condom-is not used, would pose an almc
impossible enforcement burden-
