I can't either. I can imagine this guy 'vanishing' and winding up in some underground X-files laboratory getting his balls sliced open by government scientists while a grey alien watches through a two way mirror while smoking a cigarette.

Ok, maybe not, but yeah, you open the door on this case and it could get nasty. The guy's still being incredibly selfish though, but it is his right to be selfish, like it or not, and when my right to be selfish or grumpy or happy or sad or to argue with Sage about politics or to watch the original theatrical cut of star wars is taken away from me, I'm gonna be pissed (although we don't know all the details - it could be that he has this rare condition that causes a little bit of his penis to crumble away every time his blood is drawn, or, more likely, he may have religious reserves. Maybe he's one of those guys who believes that AIDS is sent by God to get rid of the gays and blacks and therefore science has no place interfering with God's worthy crusade against the 'unholy'. Who knows? But still, on the face of it it sounds very selfish. I think Rik hit the nail on the head - he's worried further tests will show that he is still HIV positive, and he doesn't want to face that. Understandable really, and while my morals and conscience would make me take the test and cooperate with the scientists, we have to respect this guy's right to not want to.
