Doctors can test to see if you have HIV by simply taking a sample of your blood and sending it into a laboratory. After receiving the results, your doctor will usually have you schedule another appointment to review the results with you.

Does an HIV blood test detect pregnancy?

An HIV blood test can tell if you are pregnant. When doctors get results back from a blood test, though they may be testing for a specific thing other things will get flagged as well. For example, when you take a home-pregnancy test and then go to the doctor's to confirm you are pregnant, often they will run blood tests to determine pregnancy. An HIV blood test will show whether or not you have HIV, but will also show whether or not you are pregnant.No; a HIV blood test won't tell if you are pregnant.
