Mamyalynne you said “If you are sexually active, it is very much a good idea.” Suggesting it is a good idea for everybody, so my comment about monogamy did need saying.

It's right there in the title of the article. It's to tackle the stigma of getting a HIV test.

You wrote this:

just having the test excludes you from many life assurance products for example.

That is absolutely untrue.

yeah but I haven't had a test for lots of viruses, is it essential that I have one for those too?

Bigbad, no I didn't mention long term monogamous relationships originally.

I really really did that that didn't need saying, I was obviously incorrect - it needed spelling out - so thank you.

TGT - It's *not* essential but neither is it shameful if you wanted to have one. That's the point!

If you feel you have been in a situation where you may have contracted another virus and there is a readily available test for that virus you can arrange - then maybe so yes.
