How to approach the AIDS test talk???
I am considering a reconciliation with the ex . What is the best approach in asking that we both get tested again?

just ask him straight up. but just keep in mind that HIV can take 3-6 months after transmission to show up in your blood work. so he'd have to take the test 3-6 months after his last potential exposure to be safe.

Just say that you would like for both of you to get tested before having sex.
I can't imagine that anyone you have had sex wtih or contemplate having sex with should be offended by this. It's just good practice. |

With the Rapid HIV test it shows at one-month 80% of the time. At the three-month mark it will show 100%

Just tell him, that you won't be intimate with him again, until he agrees to get tested with you.
And that's that. If he wants the sex bad enough, he'll have no problem agreeing to being tested. |
