To clarify:   as a general principle, it would be a good idea to be tested for STDs before getting married. But this should be for the information of the participants, and not a legal bar to marriage should the test of one or more of the parties be found positive.

Some STDs can be cured with a penicillin shot, and undoubtedly as research continues, soon HIV/AIDs as well will be eliminated with the appropriate treatment.

What will those who are opposed to same-sex marriage latch onto next?
