“ACP recommends that physicians adopt a routine screening policy for HIV and encourage their patients to get tested, regardless of their risk factors ...”
The college joined at least three other doctors’ groups -- the American Academy of Family Physicians, the American College of Emergency Physicians and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists -- that have endorsed wider testing.
Ignorance and fear are deadly ALL the time, not just on December 1st, World AIDS Day.

hmmmm not sure how I feel about this; I don't think I would go ahead with the testing if encouraged to nor do I think I would encourage my kids to be tested unless they had some of the risk factors associated with contracting it. just don't know........
