"Should HIV tests be compulsory? This week the UN said countries with HIV epidemics should carry out HIV tests on everyone attending health centres unless they 'opt out'. The World Health Organization said 200m people could benefit from the policy. Currently 80% of people infected with HIV/Aids in areas such as sub-Saharan Africa do not know they have it. Until now, testing has only been done if a person requests it. The new guidelines stress a test should not be carried out against a person's wishes or without their knowledge. Is this a good idea for Africa? Do you think HIV tests should be compulsory? Should a person be able to refuse a test if they wish? Let us know your views and experiences in your own country?" http://newsforums.bbc.co.uk/nol/thread.jspa?sortBy=1&threadID=6476&start=15&tstart=0&edition=2&ttl=20070601153835&#paginator The BBC is discussing it on have your say. What do you at Nairaland think? Should it be compulsory? |
