I presume that over the counter is not a sexual position, favoured by our friends who can't throw a ball?

OR...is it a money shot practiced by those men who have sex with male accountants?

The yanks are leading the way with the over the counter tests, it's something we can learn from them.

Stigma is always the issue with STI's if we can get over than we can reduce the number and severity very quickly.

So you think being stood in the middle of tesco's requesting a test for HIV isn't going to create stigma.

1) who said anything about tesco?
2) how would anyone know what you were getting?

It's a good step forward.

it will no doubt increase the number of people who know they are positive whether they will seek treatment or tell anyone is anyone's guess.
however if you suspect you might have HIV then surely a doctor would be first port of call.

Yeah normally, but some people are too scared/embarrassed. a similar thing for chlamydia here increased diagnosis no end so I don't see why this wouldn't work.

Never any appointments available though at our surgery.................

And the embarrassment of always being asked by the receptionist......... Loudly, " I need to know what is wrong with you to let the doctor know...................."

Ah ! you don't need to see the doctor...............................

When asked that - tell them it is a matter between you and your doctor and that you consider it important enough to see the doctor. Unless they are a medically qualified doctor - you are not willing to share confidetial health matters with a member of the public
