I don’t put things where they don’t belong so why in the Hell would I take one!?

The fags don't like the stigma of having to get tested so they want normal people tested to hide their exclusive risk.

I'm wondering how long until HIV testing is mandatory.

It’s like telling men that they should be getting pap smears.

Hold a spot for me in line. If I don’t show...realize the thought was there.

I am also in the 100% monogamous/wife also 100% monogamous camp. I don’t use needles for anything. I don’t work in a hospital. I don’t go to Haiti.

Yet, when we adopted, I had to take an HIV test. When my wife immigrated she needed to take a test for a green card. We both just had a good chuckle over it. That 30% number would probably be 20% if unnecessary tests weren’t taken.

Pederasts or persons engaged in anal sex in passive role are like 95% infected.
I think I disagree that homos are a single risk group.
Historically pederasts and people shooting drugs were like 100% source of HIV but they managed to outsource it into general population via bisexual relations and blood transfusions. Literally anyone might be infected these days.

In some states, it’s standard practice to test pregnant women for HIV. It’s a safeguard for personnel involved in labor and delivery. Also, knowing a mother is infected helps with planning care for the baby.

Notice that the CDC recommendation for testing starts at 13?!!!

How are these CHILDREN contracting HIV if they are not at risk?

Well, obviously, the answer is to have free test kits made available in all restrooms. You know, like tampons, and condoms, and drug injection kits and do-it-yourself abortion kits and self administered sex change surgery kits and food stamps.

Anyone who donates blood is tested. I wonder if that counts toward the CDC goal?

If you’re not a homo your risk is about the same as being beamed into a flying saucer.

May 5, 2006 - The CDC will recommend at least one HIV test for everyone aged 13 to 64 who visits a doctor.

The radical change to HIV testing guidelines will be released in June or July, says Kevin Fenton, MD, PhD, the new director of the CDC's National Center for HIV, STD, and TB Prevention. Routine HIV tests in doctors' offices and clinics will no longer require the pretest counseling now a part of all HIV testing.

Most Americans are not homosexuals or IV drug users, activities that would lead to HIV. So why would they need the test? Just askin.

“True, but don’t they check for HIV on whatever blood work you have done? I thought it was pretty much routine now.”

No, to get the test you have to either be suspected of having a STD or request it from the physician. At least that is what my Family Doctor tells me.

Probably why the percentage of untested is how it is. If you’re not engaged in risky behavior there’s no reason for the test.

Of course there are those seemingly straight married guys who “play around” with other men who won’t ask for the test because they can’t afford to be found out.

Exactly

Look at the hoopla over homosexual marriage yet besides highly public fags and publicity seeking lesbos and old dykes

How many have rushed to get married once he sensation died

Not many...I think it’s 2 percent of homosexual men and much higher for lesbian women

Heterosexual marriage rate is much higher

You have to weed through a lot of google to find accurate reporting on this

It’s 90% propaganda

It’s not on a routine chemistry panel, plus you have to consent to it, although I don’t know if that’s state-by-state.
I had to have one for an insurance policy, but they made sure I knew I was getting it.

Article seems to be prepping the ground for state laws making HIV tests MANDATORY just like immunizations.

It’s all about Big Pharma being able to sell it’s wares to the gubmint and the gubmint being FORCED to buy them.
