Some observations....

1. Cuba has a testing program, and when they identify AIDS people, they are segregated from the population. This definitely reduces the spreading of AIDS, though at the cost of personal liberty. 60 minutes did an episode quite a while back on the situation.

2. Waiting 6 months for AIDS to show in a test isn't necessary. The standard test can take 6 months to show AIDS, but there are others that are much quicker. My spouse, a drug biochemist, had us take a viral load test which showed in days, not months.
