( CNN ) -- Welcome to our new look at what you 're saying over the past week . 'The system is n't really encouraging ' Our weekend piece on why youths are n't being tested for HIV got more than 1,000 comments . Commenter Bradgina said they 've found that just getting an HIV test from some doctors can be a hassle , and they go to the clinic under an assumed name : . `` It 's still like pulling teeth getting doctors to test for HIV , '' they write . `` One doctor actually asked me , 'Do you know how hard it is to get HIV from a woman ? ' To which I replied , ' I do n't think I ever said anything about being involved with a woman . ... ' And he then offered me a test . Wow . I had to pretend to be gay to get an HIV test . '' Bradgina later added that `` the system is n't really encouraging of getting tested on a regular basis anyway . '' 'That will never happen , and you 're all nuts ' Another weekend piece , on fitness tips from swimsuit model Kate Upton 's trainer , sparked a lively debate on Upton 's body and curves . `` I get a little annoyed when people whine and scream about this model or that model 'being fat , ' wrote commenter dragonfire77 . `` They 're in a physical condition that is orders of magnitude better than the 'average ' American , and infinitely healthier than those twig-like , death-warmed-over models you see walking the catwalk at your average fashion show . '' Commenter Deanna weighed in , `` I have a feeling that every single person who is criticizing this woman is a troll , with body hair and belly fat . Let 's see you look this hot in a bathing suit . That will NEVER happen , and you 're all nuts . '' 'Do n't blame guns at all ' Another debate , with more than 1,100 comments , followed a story on Chicago 's homicide rate and the lack of a Level I trauma center on the city 's violence-plagued South Side . `` Do n't blame guns at all , '' wrote commenter LMT556 in the highest-voted comment on the story . `` Poverty and single parent households are raising a violent culture . '' But `` not all who are single parents or live in poverty raise violent kids , '' replied commenter JoAnn Smith . `` My mom raised 11 kids , 9 boys ( and ) 2 girls , and guess what only one of my brothers decided to do what he wanted to do and now he is dead because of his actions . ... You can not solely blame the poverty and single parenting on violence . I know people that grew up with two parents and they are just as hardheaded as those who lived in a single parent household . These parents need to stop acting like they are their kids ' friends and discipline a child when needed . '' 'Hurry up and find a way to grow organs ' More than 300 commenters also shared their thoughts on the story of Molly Pearce , a California woman who needs four organs transplanted in order to survive . Some shared messages of support for Pearce , while others discussed organ donation and the meaning of `` brain dead . '' `` Articles like this make me wish they would hurry up and find a way to grow organs for people who need them , '' said commenter DS . `` I know they 're working on it but I still wish we had the technology already so the poor folks waiting for someone to die would n't have to anymore .
