Blood Drug Testing

Should we be concerned about HIV being detected from normal blood tests CBC and blood Chem?

I had a scare about two years ago in which I got a phone call from a guy that I had sex with. We used a condom for the intercouse and then took it off. We then revisited intercourse and did't use one. However, it was only a few minutes. The person didn't ejaculate inside me we finished off on our own. Three months later I get a call from him saying he was diagnosed with HIV/AIDS. I paniced and went to an emergency care where I got tested for HIV exclusively. After the long wait I was negative. All the research I saw stated about 95-98% of the time after negative within 3 months there is a very small chance of anything further. I didn't pursue further. However, I've been with my current partner for about a year and a couple of times we haven't used protection. He just went in for a CBC and Blood Chemistry panel with his doctor. He scheduled to go in the 18th for the follow-up but received a phone call to come in earlier. Do you think that there is a liklihood that they found issues to want to do an HIV test on him? Would they call him in earlier for Diabetes or high cholesterol. Or do you think my fear is more valid. I sat with him and we discussed what took place, but, the waiting game is always the hardest. (I thank you for your non-judgemental responses)

1. If your boyfreind had a follow up on the 18th and they called him in early more than likely he found some irregularities in his blood such as sugar cholesteral levels many things.In my case my Dr called me for both chlesteral and sugar and ordered more tests ,to make a long story short I have High cholesteral high blood pressure and I am a diabetic.I wish I can tell you that he just called to give him the results wich they do good or bad but if he got called in early there may be some problem no one knows except the dr.As for the Hiv test even if the dr does not order one he should have one anyway for both of your safety.Again it may be nothing He may go in and find out everything is fine good luck and let me know A thomson
2. HIV can not be diagnosed or ruled out by blood testing such as CBC and blood chemistry. HIV would not have any noticeable effect on CBC or blood chemistry for a very long time after infection. There's no way to know why he was called back in. The only way for someone to find out if they have HIV is to get an HIV test. Testing is recommended 3 months after possible exposure, with retesting 6 months after possible exposure. More than 98% of people would test positive within 3 months, but in very rare cases, it can take up to 6 months for someone to test positive.
