Important HIV testing news

The recently reported Mexican flu pandemic has raised concerns with health professionals, who are once again worried about gay and bisexual men and men with multiple partners. These groups are the most likely to contract HIV, which is a virus that attacks the body’s immune system, leading to the body’s inability to defend against diseases such as the flu. The latest research suggests that between 70 and 90 per cent of people may experience symptoms of infection a few days after having been infected.
