Hum... that won't work in a free country, however I think they are on to something, however I think it would be more prudent to allow Over the Counter HIV Screening kits and to allow open pre-exposer HIV MEDs. The evening before Rapid HIV tes and themorning after HIV removal Pill until their is a Cure. The social marketing message of a HIV Rapid HIV screening kits over the counter would stop a lot of new HIV cases, and is it is very sad that HIV leadership have been blocking all these concepts

The failure to address the ethical issues in these "test and treat" strategies is profoundly irresponsible. Those promoting that all with HIV are put on treatment are willing to trade in the health of the kidneys, bones and other body parts of those with HIV who do not need treatment in exchange for a hypothetical prevention of some new infections. Those of us with HIV are valued less; our health is secondary. This could not be more wrong.

So they're going to put people on ARVs whether they need them or not? What about the harm to the individual patient or are the rights of the individual just something Americans worry about?
