Last night CNN reported that there are no 15 MILLION AIDS orphans in Africa and that there will be millions more becuase there are more people living with AIDS in Africa than have died. My God. It's obscene how little progress we have made on this disease.
One of my side jobs for years was AIDS education in schools. It frightened me how little most students really understood about HIV infection. (Most adults too).
Any dept of health public health office will test you for free, anonymously. If you are afraid to be tested in public WAlgreens and other pharmacies sell an at home saliva test that is very accurate. You take the test. Send in the swab and then call a number in 10 days. It's very private.
I disagree about using the bloodbank for an HIV test. The National Blood Service specifically requests that you not use blood donation as a means of getting tested.
