MSNBC Headline:

"AIDS testing recommended for most Americans."

The announcement was hailed by some HIV patient advocates and health policy experts. They said the guidelines could help end the stigma of HIV testing and lead to needed care for an estimated 250,000 Americans who don’t yet know they have the disease.

Maybe the stigma could be avoided if reputable news services weren't casually equating testing HIV positive with having AIDS. It's lazy and stupid.
