Still others don't have a clue that they could be infected because they think they have used Eill the proper precautions. Using the precautions ',is great but it is not foolproof. The • . : only way to know if you are infected ' is to be tested. : There are other problems that hinder testing. If people get tested they are afraid members of the community who might find out will ., stlgmatlze them. This is a tw0-fold problem. 1.
