Yes, they would check your blood for things like that and tell you that they cannot accept your blood for donation.

i was asking bcoz , me & my friend we both recieved oral sex from a prostitute almost 2 years before just 1 time in life, we were never involved in anal or viganal sex never, & my friend donated blood just 3 months before, so i was thinking to get a hiv test for me , but now i think i shud not do it , bcoz my friend is hiv free & we both recived oral from same prostitute he donated blood, it means i also have a no risk, or shud i get tested?

oral sex is low risk for contracting hiv. if you are concerned about this encounter with a sex worker, follow up with proper testing.

You can check out the red cross website for info on exactly what they do test for when you donate blood.  It's been more than a year so ifyou answer their questions honestly about  using sex workers, you should still be able to donate.

All HIV questions need to be posted in the HIV community, see the link above.

you don't have to test for hiv just because you received oral sex.  there are some std's that are more commonly transmitted thru oral sex but even they are really low incidence of transmission in general.  Personally I wouldn't even follow up on any testing unless you just know you won't rest easy about things until you do.
