As long as it could help to reduce the number of people getting infecting by HIV, money and research should be invested in finding better tests against HIV, but the primary goal would be to educate people, not only from minorities, about the importance of protecting themselves and making tests in order to protect the others. Education is key, without it the rest is useless.

I think that every doctor check up should check on you if you want to be tested with you are a HIV positive candidate. Doing this will help the patient to know what is going through his or her body. This will also help the person to be aware so that they could get help fast. If you’re not getting treatment fast, the HIV will grow and life will be short. So always get check when you go to your doctor will just get check because you feel like something is wrong. Thanks!

I have never understood why HIV testing is not a regular part of annual checkups. Even regular doctor vistis. I have never had a doctor to ask me if I had been tested for HIV. Or did I want to be tested.
