In Canada?: Whether HIV testing is mandatory or voluntary depends on the policies of the training program. In the USA, these are the SUGGESTED guidelines suggested for healthcare workers. http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/pdf/testing_factsheet_healthcare.pdf Whether these apply at the training level, is another story. Check the program requirements. See what the consequence of "opting out" of HIV testing may be.
