When getting a blood test done is the blood automatically tested for hiv?

I'm not 100 percent sure, but I think you have to authorize for that test, at least you use to have to..you have to sign a form. The forms you sign now may have HIV added on the list, but I'd ask the dr.

No that is illegal not to mention expensive. When you get a blood test done they can only test for what the doctor orders.

no, there's about a million different blood tests out there and the doctor has to order an hiv test specifically. if you want to be tested, you need to request it (there are also mouth swabs that we use for hiv testing at my job, and they seem to be quicker and easier).

The most common laboratory test is the complete blood count (CBC). It examines the components of blood, including red and white blood cells and platelets.

A regular CBC does not give T-cell counts. Most people with HIV infection get special T-cell tests.

No. I just went to the doctor to get a full STD test, including HIV, and I had to sign a specific form authorizing them to test me for HIV.
