The president of the North American Swing Club Assn. angrily denounced a study by the federal Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta, which found that two women who belonged to such clubs in Minnesota had been exposed to the AIDS virus. “They have put a scarlet letter on anyone who has at any time belonged to these clubs,” said Robert McGinley, of Anaheim. McGinley said he plans to notify the 100 clubs affiliated with his association “not to submit under any circumstances to a club testing.” He added that individual members, if they choose to be tested for exposure to the acquired immune deficiency syndrome virus, should seek the test at a center that will guarantee anonymity.
