As a gay man who lost many friends in the 1980s and 1990s I am in favor of streamlining testing. I was a volunteer AIDS test counselor in California. HOWEVER, it does seem to me that those most at risk already know how to find a free test site. Further, gay men will continue to only go to anonymous test sites because of potential public and private ramifications. I think it may be a waste of time to test the entire public who are not at risk in our population. I would NEVER have the test done at my doctors office
