A new blood test can diagnose HIV as soon as 14 days after infection, thus reducing the length of the "window period" between infection and when the virus can be detected

What are 10 reasons why AIDS prevention advocates don't experiment, don't even try the strategy of "BEFORE we have sex let's get tested TOGETHER for A VARIETY of STDs then make an informed decision."?

1. Obviously, I may not end up not having sex.
. The clinic's not open at 2am.
. There's no clinic in the middle of the park.
. There's no clinic in the back of my van.
. The free testing center won't take my credit card.
. You can get HIV from testing.
. I can tell if somebody has AIDS.
. I'm an sex educator. I know what works.
. There're no studies but I'm sure it doesn't work.
. I'm already HIV positive, thank you, whoever.
