Answer #1

Ans) Blood, it will be tested for the following conditions:

HIV antibodies (HIV-1/HIV-2)
Hepatitis B virus (Hepatitis B surface antigen, Hepatitis B core antibodies, ALT)
HIV-1 antigen
Hepatitis C virus antibodies
HTLV antibodies (HTLV-1/HTLV-11)
Syphili

- If you have an abnormal test result, your blood may be discarded. Also, if this testing indicates that you should not donate blood or plasma, either temporarily or permanently, because of a risk of transmitting the AIDS virus or other infectious disease, you will be notified and your name will be entered on a confidential list of disqualified donors.

DO NOT DONATE BLOOD TO GET AN AIDS TEST.

If you want an AIDS test, call 1.800.342.AIDS to find a testing location near you.
