you're a complete idiot. you seriously typed all that and simple google search would tell you that all positive tests results are reported to the appropriate government authority. Im pretty sure every state has that regulation in place.
wow...what an amazing display of ignorance.
Newflash buddy. Say I test positive using Quest diagnostics. They notify the state and they must also notify my wife.
The big money in medicine is surgeries, heart disease and cancer. not aids, or infectious disease. AIDS isnt some conspiracy plot. Its a 100% preventable disease. It is a disease of volition. and when i see threads like "if the p*ssy is good, you're taking off that rubber", which i saw recently on this site, it's no wonder aids is such a big problem in the "urban" community.
No, Like I stated I read a study on NCBI.com or it could have been pubmed stating private doctors are notorious for not sending out forms to show who is tested positive for std's. I'm not looking because you will still find something wrong so look for yourself.
Also, you have to get tested for them to notify your wife but because you would be considered to be in a low risk group the doctor will most likely not ask you to take the test. I seen this for myself in the study as it showed private physicians didn't test married couples and white women being that they were considered low risk groups.
This is a serious disease so when I read that it made me look at women who I thought could be clean may not be. All I'm saying is don't put too much credit in these statistics because they have a lot of errors and prejudice in them and this is your life your playing with and you seem like someone who puts all their belief in these stats and the system and because your married which means you most likely have sex with no condom means you are really at risk if you don't get tested every six months for ALL STD'S because your wife may be cheating on you with someone who is burning and women are notorious for letting guys hit without a condom(ALL RACES).
I wish I could find it easily but it was something I found by mistake not intentionally looking for it.
You fail to realize most of these statistics come from free clinics and not private physicians so they don't add a lot to the results but that doesn't mean a lot of people don't have hiv who don't go to these free clinics. Read this:

"It is also important for you to known that many private doctors do not test for STDs because many insurance companies do not cover these types of tests. Therefore even though you may think you’re safe, because your doctor hasn’t told you that you have an infection, it’s possible that you haven’t actually been tested at all."

"Question: Does My Doctor Do STD Testing As Part of My Regular Check-Up?
Answer: Many people think that their doctor routinely does STD testing as part of an annual exam. Most of them are actually wrong.
Although sexually active individuals should be regularly screened for at least chlamydia, gonorrhea, and cervical cancer, and the CDC recommends universal HIV testing, most of the time people aren't tested for STDs on any regular schedule. STD testing is not done by most doctors, not even most gynecologists, as part of a yearly check-up. In fact, many patients find that they have to ask their doctors for STD tests -- something that can cause a great deal of embarrassment for some. This may be particularly true for older patients and patients who have long-standing relationships with their physicians.
This is a real problem, because the shame and stigma associated with STDs make it difficult for many people to ask their doctors for testing. When screening doesn't occur, it can make it very easy for asymptomatic diseases to spread out of control. If more doctors were more proactive about routine screening, the "hidden epidemic" might be better in hand. However, and this may come to a shock to some people, many doctors are just as uncomfortable talking about safe sex and STDs as their patients, and this discomfort can make it difficult for them to discuss the tests that need to be performed.
Another problem is that many doctors, particularly those in private practice, may not think that their patient population is at risk of acquiring an STD. However, in every neighborhood, there will be individuals who are infected with STDs. Realistically speaking, there is no sexually active population at such low risk for chlamydia and other STDs that regular screening would not be a benefit.
"In 2007, a study by the CDC found that only 40% of sexually active young women with health insurance were regularly screened for chlamydia. That number is way too low, particularly when you consider that the extremely common disease can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease, infertility, and other long-term health problems if left untreated.
