Get tested with the Queen of Ireland

Over the past ten years, HIV infections rose by 160% in Ireland. It's a trend that is worrying Panti Bliss, an Irish drag queen and prominent gay rights activist. So now Panti's creator, Rory O'Neill, will be opening up his central Dublin bar for HIV testing. He told Newshour he hoped PantiBar would be a familiar, informal setting in which young gay men could feel comfortable getting tested.
