Our World: Federal officials say HIV testing should be as common as cholesterol checks

I do agree that its insane that we have to take a precaution of HIV starting at the age 13. 13 is a very young age. I think we may want to get the shot earlier because who knows who or how we can pick up the disease. Kids think they should do what the media does. Everywhere you turn it’s a shoot them up video, inappropriate scenes in movies, or drugs being dealt. Kids pick up on these behaviors. I believe that HIV tests should be required on a regular basic, and hopefully it will decrease the amount of people becoming affected with HIV. The chances of getting the HIV is 1 out of 2 partners. Many people out there are having multiply partners, this shot is a way to limit the disease being spread. HIV has been an issue in our world and we have been dealing with for many years. This shot is a great break through in medical technology, it will be able to help people all around the world.
