Re: HIV Testing Before Marriage (3)

**************

I appreciate the concern of people on testing before marriage since majority 
of the women with HIV seems infected due to infected husbands.  Testing 
should happen before marriage to know each other better and it should be 
done on a voluntary basis.  Religious groups plays a very important role in 
making compulsory counseling on HIV/AIDS before marriage.  The couple then 
decide whether they should go for testing or not and one may say not to 
marriage without HIV testing, it is individual decision.

If it is compulsory testing before marriage, who can assure of faithfulness 
after marriage?  People will provide false negative reports as many private 
Labs will provide with the influence of money.  And many will prefer live in 
together relationships and so on.

best wishes,
