I guess that came out wrong. I get that they have to ask in order to do the test, but is it common for them to even test for HIV with a physical unless they have a reason to? Thanks in advance.

They have to ask before doing an HIV test. Doesn't matter if they have a reason or not.

Do they typically ask or do they have to have some reason for it.

You will be told if they are going to test for HIV. They can't test without your approval.
