Getting tested after blood transfusion?

Getting tested after blood transfusion?

My mother underwent surgery in 2008 and due to some complications she had blood transfusion. It's been 2 years, but I was wondering if she should get tested for HIV. I don't notice anything suspicious in her health or anything (other than the fact that she had skin problems for the first couple of months after the surgery, probably because of blood incompatibility). Assuming a person gets HIV through this medium, after 2 years pass, is there any noticeably sign?

Thanks in advance, I really hope you can give me an answer.
