Obama urges Americans get tested for HIV 33 mins ago

WASHINGTON (AFP) – President Barack Obama on Saturday urged his fellow Americans to get tested for HIV in an effort to reduce transmission of the virus that causes AIDS.

"On this 14th commemoration of National HIV Testing Day, I urge Americans to take control of their own health -- and protect those they love -- by getting tested for HIV and working to reduce HIV transmission," Obama said in a statement.

"While its impacts are not evenly spread -- infection rates are particularly high among gay and bisexual men, African Americans and Latinos -- when one of our fellow citizens becomes infected with HIV every nine-and-a-half minutes, the epidemic affects all Americans," he said.

Infection rates are largely confined to gay and bisexual men. Despite all the shock horrow warnings, HIV has not “leaked” into the heterosexual community in the west in any numbers. Proof once again that the so called sexual revolution wasnt all that revolutionary.

Bah. Waste of money and resources for 97% of the population. The rest know who they are. Anyway, AIDS is a minor health problem compared to cancer, heart disease, diabetes, etc. He should be urging people to get tested for these conditions.

Then why should the gay and bisexual "lifestyles" be promoted as healthy and normal "alternatives" to school children? Why should marriage laws be extended to homosexuals?

Cigarettes, sugary drinks, and fast food are supposed to be bad because of their health effects, but this logic is never extended to homosexuality and promiscuity.

Well, I wouldn’t trust a government clinic to practice safe testing procedure with needles. They will probably test an HIV+ guy, then rinse off the needle and test you.

Why? I need no test, I know I don’t have it, and the vast majority of people in the US don’t have it nor are they likely to get it. The only time you should be tested for HIV is when your spouse runs off to Argentina to have an affair. It would be a really good idea for Sanford’s ex to be checked! Bozo if probably speaking from experience, after all he is a bi isn’t he?

And I'm sure none of us can figure out why that is. How about explaining it to us, boy genius? Why is that?

Why should I get tested for it? I’m an “old school” American who has always been faithful to my spouse.

If you’re an IV drug user or promiscuous homosexual, fine. The rest of us? Waste of time.
