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."

there are pockets of morality left, damned few, but they exist.

No morality here, I'm just butt ugly.

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!

I'm a monogamous heterosexual who doesn't use drugs - the only chance I have to get HIV is if I'm bitten or corn-holed by a queer.

Since 85% of the people who have aids are homosexuals I doubt it. He loves homosexuals and their radical agenda.
Even in that stupid deal he is touting about behavior, he doesn't mention the dangers of homosexuality.

Two virgins get married, stay faithful and don’t get blood transfusions.

Chances of being infected are pretty low.

“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)
