George Michael has revealed he is refusing to take an HIV test because he fears the result could come back as positive. While filming for comedian Stephen Fry's new television show 'HIV and Me', the singing star said he has not had a test in over three years. Michael celebrated his 44th birthday on Monday night at the Berkeley Hotel in London with long-term partner Kenny Ross. Guests included Elle MacPherson and Geri Halliwell. The producer of the show, Ross Wilson said: "George says he does not believe in tests. He says he finds the wait for results too harrowing and hasn't had a test since at least 2004 due to his fears it might be positive." Gayline's general manager Neil Denney says the phone counseling service takes a number of calls every week from men who are nervous about going for testing. “Many want information on how to be tested for HIV and want to know what the procedure is for the test,” he explains. “Quite often we need to talk them through their apprehension about getting tested and to ally their fears on ‘what if it is a positive result?'. We take calls from a number of men who are phobic about HIV and are to scared to get tested – these are challenging, as the guys are scared silly that every sexual contact will result in HIV.” Denney advises sexually active gay or bisexual men get tested regularly, “as the sooner you know, the better your options. Not only for HIV of course, but for the whole range of STI's” The Gayline phone number is (09) 303 3584, and the HIV/AIDS toll-free number is 0800 358 0099.
