      <![CDATA[@3, "Luxury testing experience"? HAHAHAHA! Yes, it's such a luxury trying to find out whether you're gonna die. But yeah, we want more people to get tested because it could kill other people. Plus, and it would also cost a lot more public money to treat those other people than just the one condom-refusing or needle-sharing prick. That's why we need to pay for it.

      <![CDATA[Hey, @ 2) Whoa, back up that space-time continuum. Most pregnant teenagers could have prevented that pregnancy, but that's a moot point because they're already pregnant.<br />
<br />
But these KCPH ads are about stopping the spread of disease *before* it spreads, so people don't knowingly pass it on. However, the people who aren't knowingly passing it on--because they aren't using condoms--don't deserve a get-out-of-jail-free card of more frequent testing. Everybody having sex frequently needs to get tested. And people who aren't using condoms are being idiots. They deserve a good public chiding. <br />
<br />
@ 3) There's no luxury in paying the cost of geting people into the STD clinic. It's cheaper than paying the exorbitant cost of someone's health care for the rest of his life.
