I really don't why anyone would be against mandatory HIV testing for everyone in this country, other than its monetary cost. So far I've led a damn low-risk lifestyle, but I just don't see the downside. I'd take the test right now if someone was giving it for free.
There's a difference between mandatory and voluntary. The govt. is reaching beyond, again.
Anytime you penetrate the skin you run a risk. The guy in front of you has AIDs and the nurse (public health worker/Master at Arms) gets a little confused and sticks you with the same needle. No thanks!
My brother-in-law is dying from Hep-C because of needle stick(s) as an ICU nurse.
