Patient's question:
I want to have an abortion and need to have an HIV test!Doctor's answer:
An induced abortion is also a surgical procedure. If many large hospitals require an HIV test to be conducted, it is a routine preoperative examination. Of course, this is only implemented in many hospitals that have the conditions for testing. Hospitals without such conditions do not have this examination. If you refuse the test, you can negotiate with the hospital doctor to sign a refusal. Currently, induced abortion is not necessarily required to undergo an HIV test. However, for general surgeries, higher-level hospitals are required to conduct HIV tests, and in some places, syphilis tests are also included.
