Why is getting an HIV test so stressfull for so many gay men? I do not even think about it.? Are you so inm need of sex that you can’t use reason? Why would anyone need to get a HIV test so often? HIV is a difficult diease to catch and very easy to prevent. It just shows the continued irresponsibilty in the gay community. Enough already, what is wrong with you people?
