An at-home blood test may be administered to test for HIV. A sampling from a few drops of blood will be mailed to a laboratory and results are heard over the phone. Tests done by doctors in person will have results in as little as 20 minutes. Even if you are not at risk for HIV, blood tests may be administered to check for any other health risks, such as Diabetes.
