However. one must consider the other side of the story. There are hundreds of thousands of Americans infected and dying from this virus. Society must keep in mind that people routinely are medically tested for a variety of diseases for obtaining insurance. marriage licenses. certain jobs. as hospital workups for diagnosis and for admission as immigrants to the United States. However. this has not been the case with AIDS. AIDS always has been the exception to the rule concerning fatal dangers to the public (immigrants. soldiers. and prisoners are now being tested). Testing should be done on all individuals entering a hospital or health clinic as part of their routine workup. The act of testing all individuals would eliminate the stigma of testing "highrisk" or select groups of people.
