Apparently Only Hoes Should Know Their Status

So, remember all those HIV/Aids campaigns that encourage you to "Know Your Status." It's been a year or two since I've had a test, so I decided to get an HIV/Aids test. I wasn't scared or nothing, I just wanted to take care of business. While at the doctor's office, I asked boldly to have a test performed. Well the nurse says with a degree of shock..."Why do you need to take a test?" My first thought was why I needed a reason to take the test, because the billboard I read in the subway every morning told me to go take the test and know my status. And then a thought rushed into my head...I was going to have to lie to get a HIV/Aids test. WTF. So I said to the nurse, "well, I know I should be practicing safe sex, but there are times when my partner and I don't use protection. I've been with 6 guys the last year and I'm sure they've been with other women." All of a sudden, her demeanor changed. I was no longer the sophisticated, pretty black woman that stepped into the office 15 minutes ago, I was ho...but, I got my test.
