Messaging on dating apps

Has there been confirmation from CDC that they are messaging on MSM dating apps? I asked a few months ago and they were planning to but never got confirmation.

hey team, 

what is the case definition of a "suspect case" for Ebola?
Leann Liu, Manager of Surveillance and Epidemiology Unit, Harris County Public Health
Early recognition of Ebola is critical for infection control. Individuals can be classified as Persons Under Investigation (PUI) or Confirmed Cases.

Persons Under Investigation (PUI)
Individuals can be classified as a PUI if they have

  1. Signs and symptoms consistent with Ebola virus infection.
AND

  1. An epidemiological risk factor within 21 days before the onset of symptoms.
