so I’m about six weeks pregnant an they took some blood tests and the doc called me back and told me my blood type an that my progestrone* levels were highn but I was wondering if they did a hiv test? an if so would she have told me if it was positive? or is it bad if she didn’t tell me at all on the phone?

If you are living in Pennsylvania, there are laws about HIV testing. Depending on your area, prenatal HIV testing may not be a routine test. Prior to HIV testing, the doctor/nurse must explain the test to you and obtain your approval for it. There is a specific consent form required for HIV testing. If your doctor didn’t explain the HIV test or have you sign a consent form specifically for HIV, then you most likely were not tested. For more information, call your OB/GYN and discuss your concerns.
