Hello.. I know I have severe anxiety especially a phobia dealing with stds especially HIV all I do is Google hiv all day long for the past month..back in October I had a very bad car accident and I was shipped to a bigger hospital and I know they drew blood from me and what I was wondering was did they test me for everything and if not would something come back abnormal if I had hiv

So they can test you even without written consent I know I asked the RN and the CAN if they could tell the Dr that I wanted to be tested.. And before I got discharged I asked was my blood work normal and the RN and Dr both said yes

In an emergency situation in a hospital, your blood would be checked for any possible infectious diseases, including HIV, to protect the staff.

Please consider seeking professional mental health to deal with your anxiety.
