This is exactly the kind of thing that I couldn't find in my basic googling. Thanks!
Oh, and my friend's a female married doctor, I don't think the horizontal entertainment is going to be an issue; she'll probably spend a lot of time treating AIDS patients, not hooking up with them! Similarly, I'm sure she's familiar with the major infectious diseases; but does anyone have any hints that they would file under "I don't know why the civvies don't know to do xyz to avoid disease vector bug bites?"
