Obama urges all Americans to get tested for AIDS/HIV By Michael O'Brien - 06/25/10 03:24 PM ET
President Barack Obama urged all Americans on Friday to be tested for HIV.
Obama released a statement this afternoon marking National HIV Testing Day on Sunday, and encouraged people to get tested to learn their HIV status, the virus that contributes to AIDS.
"As we mark this day, I would like to renew my call for all Americans to help reduce the risk of infection by getting tested for HIV and learning their HIV status," Obama said in a statement.
"And research shows that people who know their status take better care of themselves and take steps to reduce the risk of transmitting HIV to others," he added. "That is why it is so important that people get tested."
Obama noted the advances in research and treatment of HIV and AIDS since the late 1980s and early 1990s, when AIDS was highly stigmatized and seen as an almost-certain death sentence.
He also called on philanthropic and faith-based groups, among other groups, to get involved in helping to fight AIDS.
"[A]ll of us have a responsibility to reduce our risk and know our status, to continue to support those already affected by this disease, and to fight the stigma and discrimination people still face," he said. "So on this National HIV Testing Day, let us all recommit to do our part to help stop the spread of HIV and AIDS."
Maybe he wants the aids people identified so that they can get denied healcare later....
Obama must think we all do and did what he does and did. I don’t think so...
It wouldn’t surprise me a bit if that homo is aids infested.
What a worldview this ahole has.
LOL, Obama ALWAYS FORGETS THE BASICS.
Dear community organizer in chief
We are not all inner city Chicago residents.
You are showing how inexperienced you are
Didn’t Michelle say that she and Obama got tested during their trip to Hawaii?
Maybe he doesn’t realize that many of us don’t live a lifestyle similar to that of his friends and cohorts!
He lifted the ban to allow HIV positive foreigner into the US.
"blah blah blah, they plug the dam hole yet?,blah blah blah dam judge get silenced yet?,blah blah blah get my new golf balls yet?, blah blah blah, did queen latifah return my call yet?, blah blah blah, get me a hamburger I, I, I, blah blah blah
Two virgins get married, stay faithful and don’t get blood transfusions.
Chances of being infected are pretty low.

Ain't gonna happen.....no way.
Wouldn't it be interesting to see Obama's ______________ records?
“I’m pretty sure the wife and I are non-carriers. I’ll pass.”
Hmmm. “Pretty sure”? You willing to risk your life on “pretty sure”? In fact - it would probably be prudent to force our significant others to get tested monthly. (Weekly?) Although that suggestion would of course bring up the “What - you don’t trust me!!!?” issue. Probably best if Obama just declares it mandatory HIV weekly testing.
Who knows - maybe it is buried in the Obamacare rules. Oh - and malaria shots.
I'll get in line right after that she-male tranny of a First "Lady" gets tested and I've emptied all the magazines on the squad of Healthcare Gestapo trespassing on my front lawn. I wouldn't really do that. I'm just saying. (:^o)
