George Michael refuses to have HIV test 

British singer George Michael has revealed he is refusing to have an HIV test because he is worried about the result tests.

The gay star, who was arrested for initiating sex with a police officer in a Beverly Hills, California, public toilet in 1998, reveals he has not had a test in over three years.

The singer, 44, makes the confession to Stephen Fry in a BBC2 documentary on HIV, entitled 'Stephen Fry - HIV And Me.'

"George says he does not believe in tests," Ross Wilson, the show's producer tells The Sun.

"He says he finds the wait for results too harrowing and that he hasn't had a test since at least 2004 due to his fears it might be positive."
