Always Wear a Condom Hiv Aids PSA

[moksmolina29]

this is ad is a passe and totally produces a lot of negativity to encourage people from HIV testing. I am wondering if this was ever evaluated and if it did increase awareness

Did you hear the moaning when the needle went in. LOL

nasty.

Remember: the HIV test can be done by oral swab now, completely painless, cheaper plus you know in 20 minutes.

PS The HIV test looks not for the virus, but rather antibodies that your body would produce after seroconversion

I took the oral swab the first time but not all places do it.

@surbon514 Oh yeah, cut costs when you test for HIV. Thats good saving, all right.....

@NYerintransit

All the tests used in the US are approved by the FDA, and many people cant shell out $350 a pop to get it done in an office. Many people at risk for HIV are poor/vulnerable and all I'm saying is the free oral test you can get at most clinics is just as good as any other more costly method. So why wait?

@surbon514 I love the oral test...I wish they still used at the clinics in NJ, I hate having blood drawn.

If this dude is hooking up with many people and not being monogamous, he should be tested at least twice a year. I feel this ad could scare people away from taking control of their sexual health

what does the hiv test really test for?
