Just in case someone has not seen or heard about this, the following link is directly to CDC's site:
http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/topics/testin...care/index.htm
While whole page is worth reading, this is the link to FAQ/Q&A:
http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/topics/testin...ral-public.htm
The report I heard, IIRC, indicated that this only a recommendation. BUT any of their recommendations carry a great deal of wieght on what the medical industry does .

As for me, I get tested every time I go to the blood bank.......part of FDA regs.
