"I have just found out my spouse had an affair two years ago and had intercourse without a condom. The person is African American that the affair was with, and I am concerned about it knowing that for the past two years my spouse and myself have had unprotected intercourse . I have asked for both of us to get an HIV test but each time I ask they say they get upset about it and does not want to know if there is anything wrong. We have a family and do not think it is fair to them. I guess my question is how do I convince my spouse to get a test. - Please help"
