A doctor needs patient consent to complete an HIV test when it is not part of routine medical care or when the testing is not mandated by law. In most situations, informed consent is required, meaning the patient must be made aware of the test, its purpose, and potential implications. Additionally, if the test is being conducted in a setting where the patient has the right to refuse, explicit consent is necessary. However, in some jurisdictions, consent may be implied in specific high-risk situations or as part of standard procedures in certain healthcare settings.
Not if you are a licensed doctor.

No. A doctor always need the patient's consent.
Doctors are never allowed to reveal medical information about a patient without said patient's consent, regardless of what legal proceedings are going on. Doctor-patient confidentiality is legally binding, and if they break it then you can sue them for that too. Of course, if the medical information is evidence in the law suit it will need to be revealed to the lawyers/judge/jury/etc.

Blood testing is typically regarded as ordinary hospital care. So are X-rays and most diagnostic tests.All other tests and procedures need separate consent forms.That said, a patient can revoke consent even for one or all blood tests, if they choose to do so. If a lucid patient says No, and a nurse (or lab tech, or doctor) tries to insert a needle into a vein against patient wishes, it can be a tort. A medical person cannot touch a patient once the patient clearly states NO. Go to your Supervisor, if this occurs. A Super or the doctor might get the patient's cooperation. Of course, doctors don't like games, so the doctor could dismiss the patient from care unless the patient can express a really good reason to say no to a doctor's order.
The doctor needs to notify the patient in writing. The doctor also need to see the patient for a period of time for emergencies. Typically, this is 4 weeks. Also, depending on the patient's insurance, the doctor may need to notify the insurance company too. It is a good idea for the doctor to also suggest some other doctors for the patient to see, or give a source for those.
Patience patient
an doctor needs to be flexible an reliable towars his patient ! The first and foremost quality of a doctor should be to sympathize with the sufferings of the patient and extend a helping hand with a positive outlook.
Reporting patient care issues to the patient's personal doctor or any other person involved in that patient's care is not a violation of HIPAA as long as it is on a need to know basis.
You need to go to medical school and achieve residency at a hospital for a period of time in order to be a doctor. You will need to complete this education before you will be considered to be a doctor.
Yes and no. The doctor is employed by the patient or his representative. If a patient decides to employ a different doctor then that new doctor can take over care of the patient whenever he or she chooses to do so (the new doc does not have to accept the patient). If that new doctor is at a different facility (hospital or nursing home) and agrees to accept the transfer then the patient can compel a transfer. The vast majority of times the old doctor and the transferring facility will cooperate and assist in this process, however, they do not need to do so. They can leave it up to the patient to find and arrange for the accepting doctor and facility and to arrange transport. Also, the transport may or may not be covered by insurance depending on the situation. So yes, if a patient wants to leave one facility and go to another or merely switch doctors he or she has the right to do so. But no, the current doctor is under no obligation to do this for the patient or even be helpful.
