There is no excuse not to get tested. End of argument. I know it can be scary. Still, it's better to know & be able to start trying to do something about it, than not to know & possibly spread the virus farther. Some people say they don't know where to get tested or there aren't any testing sites near them. BS! I live in podunk Oklahoma & there are several with 35 miles of me. Go to www.hivtest.org & type in your Zip & there you have it, locations of area test sites.
Last year the DMV in DC started offering screenings. Personally, I think this insurance crap should be handled so that having HIV is treated like any other disease. Then they should simply require HIV tests for everyone. I know, I know, personal liberties & all of that. However, this disease is never going away until every one who has it is diagnosed, treated or dies. So, whatever excuses you may have, they don't matter.
- If you have had unprotected sex
- If you have partaken in IV drug use
- If you have had any medical treatment involving blood or needles
- If you are exposed to bodily fluids due to work
All these are reasons to get tested. Just do it. Get tested.
Cya...
