Meet your client, Mr. Olson.

Mr. Olson is a 65-year-old man who has come to the clinic for a complete physical checkup. He has no health complaints, and his physical examination is negative except for a few minor changes associated with aging. During the interview, he tells you that he is gay and has had the same partner for five years. On further questioning, he reveals that he has had numerous sex partners during his lifetime. He says, “I was wondering if I should be tested for HIV,” and “Mike, that’s my partner, says I ought to get a flu shot and maybe a hepatitis shot. What do you think?”
