When I got pregnant, they never did any
std/hiv tests on me. They had a question
about it on the forum I filled out when I
first got there, but never tested me for
it, that I know of.
I am not pregnant anymore, but I don't
know why I would get tested for hiv? Is
there some sort of reason?

They tested me when I found out I was
pregnant, they are supposed to so they can
prevent giving it to your baby if you do
have it... Just like alot of other
things.

Yeah, I had to get tested for it with my
first blood tests. They said its
mandatory, even if u know u don't have it,
u still have to do it just for their
records.

They tested me for everything! They took
like 6 viles of blood from me and did a
pap smear. They are normally supposed
to test you for things that are major like
hiv and syphillis and such because these
things are passed to the baby and are
dangerous.

Oh with the first blood test they like,
test everything!!! You hafta get a urine
test with your blood test, and then for
the blood test, they check ur iron levels,
hiv, syphillis, protein, hmm what else...
Oh and if ur rh positive or negative, ur
blood type, if theres any traces of low
white blood cells or red blood cells, and
I think theres a few more. I cant
remmeber but on my blood test sheet there
were 13 things checked off! Then u go get
the same test at about 28 weeks or 30
weeks.

for until I get pg again.

Was it an option for everyone, did youhave
to ask for it, or did they test you
automatically?

Mike and I did std testing immediately
before we got married, and neither one of
us has ever slept with anyone else, so we
don't have any reason to test.

they just do it automatically...Did they
draw your blood at all?
Maybe they tested for it and just didnt
tell you the results...Some doctors are
gay like that. I got blood drawn a year
ago to get tested for something and the
doctor never called to give me my
results...
And yeah, to answer your question - they
did my tests at my 2nd appointment.

Michelle, the first time I went in they
drew blood, maybe they did it and never
told me, but they had told me about the
other things they had tested for. I have
no idea...I kind of angers me off, if they
were suppose to, and didn't.

I guess you could assume that you dont
have hiv because if you did, I think they
would have told you. But yeah, that is
annoying..
