It was brought to my attention that the Virginian-Pilot, second largest newspaper in the state put up a poll of reader opinion a few days ago when the news of my testing methods first hit the fan.
The question:
Do you think a local AIDS activist should offer young people free HIV tests on the street?
So now we are voting on public HIV testing… hmm. I can live with that because all publicity is essentially good for our educational mission. It actually seems pretty balanced (i always distrust polls that are lopsided with 90-10% breakdowns.
As of tonight…
