Universal HIV Testing

This is an amazing idea. As Michael Franti once sang, it's better to know than to not know:

All 15-59 year olds in some areas of England should be offered a HIV test by their GP, new recommendations say. In 42 trusts with more than two HIV cases for every 1,000 people, everyone should be offered the test when they join a GP surgery, experts said. Around 20% of the population would fall under the universal testing policy. Most of the high-prevalence areas are in London, but others include Brighton, Manchester, Blackpool and Birmingham.
