The same rules should apply to some bars and to any heterosexual or homosexual establishment that is primarily a place for "high-risk" sexual activity, the council said.
The Governor has asked the State Health Commissioner, Dr. David Axelrod, to study whether the bathhouses should be closed. He said yesterday that the Commissioner would "take these recommendations into account before he reports to me."
The proposed rules are intended to insure that anyone who goes to the baths is informed of ways to avoid AIDS, or acquired immune deficiency syndrome.
Under the proposals, all bathhouses would have to distribute literature on sexual activities that avoid the transmission of AIDS syndrome and would have to have a table where related questions from patrons would be answered.
