When discussing it in the context of bars in college towns, I think a "in first world countries" qualification is appropriate.



College kids don't worry about HIV to begin with. They will either wear a condom, or won't. Knowing their partner does not have HIV won't effect the decision since that is the default assumption anyway. People inclined to not make this assumption are also intelligent enough to realize that this test has false negatives.
