If someone has a clear conscience and soul, he / she will have no qualms about taking this test to set aside doubts. It should be stressed even more for arranged marriages where the bride and groom know nothing about one another except the family backgrounds.

Risk of transmission outweighs, moreover there are other tests like P24 antigen which becomes positive within a month of contact and hence can be used for suspected cases.

Making HIV testing isn't as tough as u make it sound. Make the results mandatory to register marriages. Also government in a tie up with some large firm provide partial financing for these tests, so the bride and groom only have to pay reduced price.

It would help save many a lives from getting affected by HIV & AIDS and worth while effort and investment by Government.

what are your views towards this......
