I suspect that's more down to the implication to some that MFF (or furry fandom generally) is a promiscuous sexual environment - and also a homosexual one, given the gay community's historical association with AIDS. Both assertions have a kernel of truth, though perhaps not more than any other fur con… or even other events of similar demographics. Still, should we assume that is the case, it seems appropriate to provide testing, condoms, etc. as attendees are unlikely to change behaviour or orientation. Provision of testing is a symptom, not a cause.
