Summary: Patrick has made a big, unprotected mistake. He discovers that the best way to recover his peace of mind is to get tested for HIV, and he finds that the test really isn’t as hard as he thought.

Sample topics for discussion:

1) Imagine what the young man’s life would have been like if he had not decided to get tested for HIV.

2) Where can you get tested for HIV near where you live? When is the test center open? How much does the test cost (if anything)? How long does it take to get the results back?
