Detailed explanation-1: -But patients should be specifically informed that HIV testing is part of routine care and have the opportunity to decline HIV testing. And implementation of the CDC’s guidance is patchy. While an HIV test could be included with your routine blood work, there’s a very strong chance that it isn’t.
Detailed explanation-2: -In general blood test does not include HIV test.
Detailed explanation-3: -No, of course not. HIV is a sexually transmitted disease in which an HIV-infected person can transmit the virus to an uninfected person (HIV negative) via unprotected sex. (See below.)
Detailed explanation-4: -If you take HIV medicine and get and keep an undetectable viral load, you will not transmit HIV to your sex partner. Having an undetectable viral load likely reduces the risk of HIV transmission through sharing needles, syringes, or other drug injection equipment (for example, cookers), but we don’t know by how much.
