Why would my husband need an HIV test?

Going through papers on the desk in our kitchen, I came across a pamphlet for accessing medical test results online. I almost trashed it in my reckless purging state, then decided to hang onto it in case my husband needed it. I opened it and glanced at it briefly. It had a sticker with a upc code to match the specimen taken to the lab. Then I realized it was a pamphlet for HIV antibody testing. Can anyone give me a good reason why my husband would take this test given we have been in a monogamous relationship for 20 years?
I plan to ask him when he gets back in town, but he is currently on a trip. |

| Most likely because you’re not in monogamous relationship of 20 years. He’s traveling for work? Go get an std panel. |

Yes. Get checked. Don’t say anything to him about it. Observe with your eyes wide open for the next few weeks. See if you notice anything. Use your intuition. |

| Is he a scientist or doctor? My friend's father pricked himself with a patient's needle in the hospital. Patient was HIV+. Thankfully the test was negative. |

| Maybe he’s a hypochondriac. |

If that was the case, OP would have already heard he planned to take the test. And it probably wouldn’t be his first one. |

Check his Google account history to see if he has downloaded Grindr if he has an android. Also see if he's on sniffies. You can do that on a browser. It will show a map of who is nearby.

Insurance makes the most sense to me.
If someone was hiding something, I doubt paperwork about an HIV test would make it into the house or really past the first garbage can outside the lab’s door. |
