Should HIV testing be made compulsory before marriage?

It should be made compulsory and there should be a legal requirement of the medical certificate before marriages, court marriage as well as traditional. Even the parents should become broad minded so that they implement it without fail as it is for the well being of their children..

foremost all marriages have to be compulsorily registered and for marriage registration hiv test have to be done. there is nothing to shy away from it. it is important to remember that there is no cure for it.it is possible that for any person to get infected knowingly or unknowingly. we may not have had affairs outside but it is possible that we could have been infected thru other means mentioned and known world wide. so basically for any of us why should we make our life partner suffer . a person's life agony can be saved by a simple test. point to ponder.

It's a very good question that really has tough answers to make. Although it may sound a discrimanation but I think it's a good idea to do so. It makes life more safer and HIV will never spread. Think of your children having HIV, do you like to make them suffer?

Well... Ofcourse it will be a good idea to condut HIV test before getting married, but it should not take any other wise, its not to hurt some people. I'm also of opinion that people should conduct HIV test even after marriage! Than also they must under go HIV test regularly as you know infelidity is not rare to see now a days, Got it!

yes we must be more broad minded

Yeah in my opinion, HIV test should be made compulsory before you get married.

I think that would help to know the person that you are going to be married to carries and that is alot safer than not knowing at all.

yes it should be

I can see why it's not mandatory. HIV can remain dormant and unfound in tests for up to 10 years. Just because they didn't test positive for it before the wedding doesn't meant they don't have it.

yes it should be

wel i think thtas a good idea so that before you get into a relationship your sure your partner is hiv negative and that you can live with that person without any doubts .. but whats karan johar doing here? lol

I don't think it should be mandatory to take the test. I feel that if you and your partner want to take the tests, you should. It's your responsibility. Some states make you take some tests for diseases before you get married. I know Washington DC makes you take a test for some disease but I forget what it is right now. I just feel that you should have a choice in these matters. I do think it's a good idea to test though. As the saying goes, "knowledge is power".

Personally, I do think that HIV testing should be mandatory before marriage. In fact, any and all STD tests should be mandatory. I don't think that the results should prevent anyone from getting married, unless the other partner calls it off, as someone could know that their partner has HIV and still want to marry them. Personally, I think that STD tests should be mandatory once a year, or even once every 2 years, just because someone could have it (or any other STD) and not even know. Unfortunately, activists would have a field day with it and tear apart any legislation that suggested it.
