They can be used to screen for infection, lots of diseases such as diabetes, HIV, hepatitis and also cancers and leukaemias.

THAT is a very big question. There are literally THOUSANDS of things that can be found through blood tests. You'd be better off going to the library - a medical library would be best - and picking up a book on lab testing.
If you have a specific question - Can they tell if...... with a blood test, ask your doctor.

There are many types of blood tests out there. A CBC shows you if you're aneamic, if you have leukemia/lymphoma, etc. while a CMP shows your chemistries ... if you have an electrolyte abnormality that might make us think about your kidneys.
