Should people with recurring iritis be tested for lgv? most say no(apparently it's rare in canada and us and is common in gay men and ppl with hiv)

LGV: This disease is incredibly uncommon in the usa, and the complication of iritis is even more uncommon in individuals who have lgv. Let your ophthalmologist make this decision.
