Should people with incurable communicable diseases be forced to join a registry?

Should people who have an incurable disease be forced to join a registry? It would be something similar to a sex offender registry, where people with diseases like HIV, HSV, ect, are forced by law report to the government their name and address. The data can be easily searched by the community via the internet or by visiting the local health department. This could help reduce the spread of disease throughout the community by allowing people to search to see if the people they are encountering in the community are on the list. They can then choose to avoid contact with the infected people if they choose. Imagine being able to look up the guy or girl you're flirting with at the bar quickly on your smart phone to see if they are known to carry HSV2.

    I would support this, whilst it might infringe on the rights of people who have the disease the benefit of halting the spread far outweighs the rights of the induhvidual. It's like forcing people to have a vaccination, If it is necessary to do so then it must be done. Personal choice ends where the impact on other people begins.
