A member asked:
When you go to clinic and do blood test for things like tonsillitis, can they see if you have hiv?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: Some clinics are more sensitive to the possibility that an infection could potentially be HIV infection. Often you will be told (or asked) if someone is thinking about doing an HIV test. If you are concerned, it is ok to request a test. The cdc recommends that everyone (teenagers through adults) gets tested for HIV so don't be shy.
