HIV testing scared the hell out of me, I found out knowing is better than not knowing, 1990s
How do you motivate someone to take a test that might reveal that they have a terminal illness?

Testing campaigns gained traction as medical research proved and continues to prove that knowing one’s HIV status early means more successful treatment options that potentially prolong a patient’s life.
