A member asked:
For the experts - might testing for my blood group also test if i'm hiv positive/negative?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Tests for blood groups and HIV are very different. Blood group and HIV can be tested from the same blood sample, but before doing test for HIV you would be asked for your consent to do the test for hiv.
