A member asked:
Why would my midwives not check blood for hiv in pregnancy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not universal: Not all OB doctors & midwives test for HIV in pregnancy, although it's recommended. It is not a state law required test in pregnancy. Screening for syphillis is required in most states.
