WASHINGTON (AFP) – President Barack Obama on Saturday urged his fellow Americans to get tested for HIV in an effort to reduce transmission of the virus that causes AIDS.
"On this 14th commemoration of National HIV Testing Day, I urge Americans to take control of their own health -- and protect those they love -- by getting tested for HIV and working to reduce HIV transmission," Obama said in a statement.

So what? I think it is only responsible. I know I had myself tested before I married just to make sure.
So what? Well, I think it's pretty important for Americans to get tested for HIV. It doesn't hurt for the President to suggest it. People do listen to those they admire, whether it's celebrities, politicians, or friends and family members.
