The paper argues against premarital testing and refutes several common arguments in favor of testing.

From the Paper:

"There are several convincing arguments in favor of premarital testing, but the disadvantages in this case far outweigh the few advantages. One common argument made in support of premarital testing is that it might be able to prevent transmission of HIV by identifying infected persons and warning their prospective spouses."
