George Michael needs to wake up and realise that he's not just an individual. He's a role-model, someone people, kids, look up to. Instead of showing his fear of getting tested, rather he should set an example by going for regular testing. Everyone needs to know their status, gay, straight, lesbian, whatever. I get tested bout 4 times a year, and I'm not even having sex! (I'm a blood donor... but they test your blood, so it counts!). Either way... not testing... it's bad news. And if the Sun is lying, then they're still sending a shit message, and should realise the damage they could cause before it's too late.

Either way… not testing… it’s bad news. And if the Sun is lying, then they’re still sending a shit message, and should realise the damage they could cause before it’s too late.

He may fear he has HIV, but if he actually does and refuses to find out, he could lose years and years of his life. So, ya, that'd be pretty stupid... if the Sun can be trusted. I hope they're wrong.

Unless queerty hopes to reinforce the Sun's intention.
