George Michael Makes Me Sick

George Michael Kicks Off His "25 Live" Tour
While doing my daily gossip searching I came upon this disturbing article on PerezHilton. Here is the quote he had posted from this original source:

George Michael is refusing to take an HIV test because he fears the result could come back as positive.
The gay singer revealed he has not had a test in over three years while filming for comedian Stephen Fry’s new television show HIV and Me.
The producer of the show, Ross Wilson said: “George says he does not believe in tests. He says he finds the wait for results too harrowing and hasn’t had a test since at least 2004 due to his fears it might be positive.”

This. Makes. Me. Sick. I don’t care how scared, stupid, or stunned you are. This is downright repulsive and irresponsible. HIV is a serious disease that affects millions of people worldwide and cannot be avoided just by refusing to take a test. A test may not only save your life, but the lives of those who may have relationships with you. Last November, I lost a dear friend to AIDS. Before that, AIDS had always been something scary but foreign to me. To lose someone, who was a beautiful, wonderful man, to this terrible disease broke my heart, and I will never be the same again. To think someone of such huge influence could be so crass and irresponsible not only makes my blood curdle. I’m simmering with rage over here, and I hope you guys feel as strongly as I do. George Michael is completely unacceptable.
