Comment: For those who take part in trial for new vaccine or medicines, they must be careful. I know some members at anonymous STD dating site pozgroup.com who had ever took part in some kind of such trial are still suffering from it and may be forever.

Comment: A note about testing in the U.S. Call an AIDS Service Organization or the Health Department in your community for information about testing sites and costs (if any.) Mabgo, there is no simple method to tell if your partner has HIV. To learn how to best protect yourself, I recommend you find a testing site that also provides risk reduction counseling. I'll say it again, get tested and learn to protect yourself.

Comment: Thank you for the article and the time line. If you would consider printing where people can get tested, the types of tests available, the cost and the waiting periods, it would be a great service to humanity. Since people read your magazine worldwide, I realize this is a huge task. Thank you again for this interview; I appreciated the format.

Comment: Thank you for this story and for the time line. Please tell folks more about where to get tested, how the test works, the cost, the waiting period. If you could give links so that everyone would know where to go for help, you would be doing a great service. I realize this is a worldwide concern so the research on how each country handles testing would be extensive. Thank you for your consideration.

Comment: Is there any simple method to check if the person who will make love with you have HIV?So,if everyone do this check before he do there may will be less infection.I think.
