When I went to MEPS for the first part of my military initiation, they gave me an HIV test. Do i get another?

one when i go to basic training?

Millitary and diplomatic personnel get HIV tests at least every two years.

You will get one about every year..

Only if you failed the first one. And as far as I can remember, you went from MEPS to basic if you passed, not back home.

You will get several, and as part of your annual medical requirement as well. Just get used to being stuck..

You will probably be tested once a year while you are in the service. Which is a good thing.

You get many thoughout you military career.
