George Michael is refusing to take an HIV test because he fears the result could come back as positive.

The gay singer revealed he has not had a test in over three years while filming for comedian Stephen Fry's new television show HIV and Me.

The star, who was arrested in California in 1998 when he was caught initiating sex with a police officer in a public toilet, has now revealed his worries.

The producer of the show, Ross Wilson said: "George says he does not believe in tests. He says he finds the wait for results too harrowing and hasn't had a test since at least 2004 due to his fears it might be positive."

George Michael has revealed that he plans to marry long-term partner Kenny Goss when he finishes touring in July.

The 43-year-old - who will soon become the first singer to play at the rebuilt Wembley Stadium - admitted that he and Kenny are only interested in a low-key wedding.

"When this tour is over and everything has died down we can think about that," George told the News of the World's Sunday magazine. "Like me, Kenny wants our day to be special. I’d take no pleasure in entering a civil partnership if there was any publicity around it."
