Unless one is rich, or very ill with AIDS or ARC-like symptoms, I don't
think anyone should get the HTLV-III bloodtest (& certainly not the more
accurate battery of tests!):  the federal gov't is already urging the
test's wide use, despite all the previous debate, and calls for quarantine
still regularly occur.  It's obvious the potential for abuse remains great.

Even people (straight as well as gay?) in "monogamous relationships" should
be following "safe sex guidelines."  There is no way of guaranteeing one's
s'other is faithful: death is too high a price to pay for blind trust.
Sorry for being blunt.
