AIDS testing doesn't encourage people to get AIDS, if anything, it encourages prevention. Many people have HIV without knowing and they lack the money or resources to get the test. It's common knowledge that if something is cheaper or more convenient, people will be more likely to do it.
By that count, encouraging testing and making it easier and more accessible will help people understand their standing and will allow them to take steps to prevent further transmission. It's easier to use knowledge that you have rather than coasting on an assumption.
As I said I am not talking about the testing. I am talking about acting like its not a big deal and everyone gets it. So that is encouraging carelessness. While yes you should get tested should not be told its ok and its fine if you get it. Since this leads people to think its a big deal and being careless about spreading it is ok. When you can go to jail for giving someone aids if you did not first warn them. Nothing against anyone with it but this is serious and should be taken seriously. So is having sex and people should use protection. Things happen since people are not careful and this is giving people the idea being careless is OK! If you can go to jail for it I think that is serious. If you can make a child that is serious. This is not a joking matter and people should be taught to pay attention to these kinds of things.
Yes. It should be taken seriously. But that's awfully difficult to do when you don't even know where you stand. We need to remove the taboo, it is that taboo that is making private home testing necessary. People need to know that AIDS is real, anyone can have it and that knowing is the best way to prevent further transmission.
People don't want AIDS, and if someone got AIDS it certainly would not be a small worry or a whatever I have AIDS thing. People are afraid. It is treated with severity.. It's a big deal and that is why the shame and taboo needs to be lifted so people can realize that it DOES happen and it SHOULD be noticed.
Is it normal tv seems to be encouraging STDS?
