asked Sep 4, 2020 in Baby Health During Pregnancy by anonymous
I recently had blood tests done at 6 weeks, but I wasn't informed about the specific tests conducted. Should I be concerned if they tested for HIV and didn't inform me? Or should I get a separate test done? I am currently 12 weeks pregnant and will see my gynecologist at 15 weeks.

Blood tests conducted during pregnancy typically include screening for various conditions, including HIV. However, it is important to communicate with your healthcare provider to ensure you are aware of all the tests being performed. If you were not informed about the specific tests conducted, it is recommended to reach out to your healthcare provider for clarification. They can provide you with information regarding whether an HIV test was included in your initial blood work. If it was not included or if you have any concerns, they may recommend getting a separate HIV test done. It's always best to discuss any concerns or questions with your healthcare provider to ensure proper care and peace of mind during your pregnancy journey.

Yes,they do HIV testing at your first blood work. If they come back negative the obgyn normally doesn't say anything unless you ask about the results.
