#1 "Today, in my mind, it would be almost criminal to not test more widely for HIV. The reason people are dying today [from HIV/AIDS] is that they are diagnosed late."

Oh barf! The reason people (care to state which people in particular, hmm?) are dying from HIV/AIDS has nothing to do with inadequate testing and a hell of a lot more to do with recklessly dangerous drug use, prison sex, promiscuous sex, and overall poor health habits (again, drug use).

#2 Twenty years too late, care of the gay advocates of the 80s who successfully fought against doing this back then. When it could have been useful to id and isolate carriers, just like the old TB cases and other similar diseases. Meanwhile the advocates only succeeded in killing hundreds of thousands of those whom they claimed the represented by blocking this step. Now the much heralded hetero pan-epidemic, as touted by such renowned journals as Time and Newsweek, never materialized in the US, they want to bring this back. Hey, guys, the puritanical behavioral inheritance of the culture somehow has greatly assisted in reducing the effect of the retrovirus which runs rampant elsewhere in the world. Behavior as a means to combat disease and illness, what a concept.

'Almost Criminal' to Not Test

Why not go back through the records and indeed publicly flog those, if they're still alive, and their enablers [MSM] for the obstruction twenty years ago.

Because, today, we can 'Blame Bush'[tm].
