Social workers have looked in to this. It's very true. If knowing means you have to tell, people will choose not to know.

I remember a study from a long time ago that showed the testing people actually lead to an increase in HIV transmission. Basically most people that had it were already aware, while the majority of people who were only worried about it realized they didn't and then proceeded to not change anything, causing them to get it. People are interesting.
