I don't take the test. There are likely to be a LOT of rare diseases with similar cost/benefits, possibly enough so that you could spend every waking moment being tested for something.
I don't consider this decision to be equivalent to my 'inflicting' death on those that happen to get the disease(s).
Your decision is wise but I don't think you have adopted the counterfactual preferences mentioned.
