Why do so many people feel ignorance is bliss when it comes to their health?

So many diseases can be prevented or better dealt with if people would find out about them in their early stages yet so many people refuse to go to the doctor and check, especially on the things that run in their family or are common like hypertension and diabetes.  Then there are so many who have unprotected sex (oral, genital or anal) and never get themselves tested for STDs.

I know some of these tests are expensive, but even when free testing is offered many do not take advantage of it. 

Is it that the fear of what they might find out is so overwhelming or is it something else?
