If someone asked me to be tested: Yes, I'd take the test, and not be offended.

I was tested in my early 20s, and it was negative. I was celibate for about 5 years, so I wasn't tested every year. When I got married, I had to have blood tests (although HIV was optional) - MisterMadly and I both opted to take the tests.

As someone who has a close relative who is HIV+, taking the test is crucial - the sooner you know, the sooner you can start treatment that will prolong your life.
