Test: Usually blood sugar and cholesterol should be checked once a year. HIV is not a routine test and may be offered by your provider more frequently depending on what kind of sexual practice or exposure you may have

Depends: At your age, the optimal frequency has not been established yet but it is prudent to get checked once yearly. As for HIV, if you have been monogamous, there is no reason to check it repeatedly after the first few months in the absence of other contact involving blood (IV drug etc). Weigh yourself monthly. BP & glucose frequency depends on family history.
