Do you think HIV/AIDS testing should be made mandatory by schools?

I am trying to take my cousin to get to tested for HIV/AIDS but the thing is she doesn’t want her mom to know so I am thinking about buying a HIV testing kit for her. But I don’t know what drugstores sell HIV testing kits and in order to buy a HIV testing kit do you have to be a certain age? And if I buy one online do I need a credit card to purchase one?……Thanks.

I was just wanting input from you guys that have Volunteered at a HIV/AIDS center where they do testing and stuff. I was thinking about Volunteering but I wanted to know about your experiences first.

I was recently in a car accident, admitted to ICU and my blood was tested for drugs and alcohol. I have heard that whenever blood is taken at a hospital that they are required to test it for all variations of Hepititis and HIV/AIDS. I was wondering if this is true and if the hospital is required to inform you if you test positive for any of the above.

i want to get tested for HIV/AIDS and all stds. and im on my period but its VERY VERY light. like barely anything. and i was wondering if i can still go in tomorrow for my appointment?

Ok so i hae had unprotected sex on couple of occacions with my boyfriend who is rummored by alot of people that he had hiv/aids.
so me and him both went to a clinic near by to get tested and we both come out Negative.
But im still scared that he might have something because he’s cheated on me with 3 different girls and etc….

I’m twenty, but still on her insurance. anyways, I’m worried I might have hiv/aids and want to get tested. if I go to my doctors office and got it done, would she find out?

I’ll ask more in another post. I am LIVID, especially with you young folks about your views on HIV/AIDS. If you don’t know the answer, do yourself a favor and google it.

I live in Mobile, AL where the HIV/AIDS rate is rising dramatically. The population is not huge compared to alot of other cities in the U.S. but the rate for this disease is very high for the population. I want to know if anyone personally has any contacts for who I can call to have a awareness program here very soon to encourage young people to go and get tested. They are the ones that seem to have the most problems with getting STD testing. Thanks for all that seriously apply.

i have to do a field study review for my english class and i was suppose to go get tested for AIDS cause HIV/AIDS is my topic but time slipped away and i havent done it yet, so im just kinda gonna bull shit the review, so if anyone has any info about what the test is or how it feels to be at the testing place or whatever that would be so great!

they wasn’t testing for HIV/AIDS though but does that matter? would they have noticed if i did or not even though they wasn’t testing for it?

When I was pregnant with my son I signed a consent form to have my obgyn test me for HIV/Aids but I never heard anything after that. Does anybody have any stories to share? I am just wondering. Thanks

I don’t have any symptoms and I truly doubt I have anything. If you had unprotected sex, how long after it should you be tested for HIV/AIDS? I know that if you do it too soon after that they wouldn’t be able to detect it.

Hi everyone!

I’m doing a project for school about HIV/AIDS and I have a few questions. Which I tried to research but have not found any specific answers.

How soon can a person get tested for HIV/AIDS after having unprotected sex with an infected partner?

To put it another way: When does HIV finally show up in testing?
