Too many women trust their partners to keep them safe from HIV, so they don't ask the necessary questions.
"Do I know my own and my partner's HIV status? Is it only the two of us in this relationship? And should we use condoms? Relationships aren't always easy, and those aren't always questions that people really want to deal with.
Too many women also find it tough to get an HIV test, even when they ask for it. Many women simply say, 'I go out and ask my doctor for a test and they say, well, what have you been up to?'"
The solution, according to the experts, is easy: Make the HIV test a routine part of a woman's medical care.A lot of women who aren't sure if they've been tested for HIV or maybe are complacent about it have been seeing health providers, getting reproductive health care, getting Pap smears, etc.
So, if they haven't been offered an HIV test every time they have come in for a routine health exam, then it is like the medical community has said, 'This isn't important to you.'"Instead, doctors should, "offer [the test] as a 'no big deal' part of every exam, otherwise, "it becomes this big stigma point to ask for it."
