When you give blood to they tell you if you its hiv+

Here is the situation, I had unprotected sex for 2 minuets until I put a condom on, its been about a week, and not I am freaking out. I called the girl who I dont know that well, and she said that there is no chance that she has hiv, she gave blood recently, and she said that they never come back. I can find much on the internet, but does anyone know if they are required to tell you if they find hiv in your blood donation?

Blood blanks are supposed to notify donors if their blood tested positive for HIV or Hepatitis or any other bloodborne diseases, but unfortunately this does not always happen and some blood banks aren't good about getting in touch with donors. Regardless, donating blood is NOT a way to be screened for HIV at all. It is not safe to say you are negative simply because you have donated blood and never received any news that you were positive. This is foolish and a risk to your health as well as to others.

The ONLY way to know, as Vance said, is to test at 3 months post your last exposure. Never trust someone's words- people can lie. Most don't, but that doesn't mean some do.

In the US, you do get notified to see a Dr for testing. Do not use what someone else says. Test 3 months post exposure for a conclusive result.
