My last question was about breast feeding another woman's baby. Many answers warned about HIV and HEP. I've always gotten tested, even though I'm married and I trust my husband.

Where I am, the offer is there, but it is up to the individual to consent to it or not...I consented, even though I know that we are both ok, but for some reason, the midwife didn't circle the right bit on the blood test form, so when my results came back for that, I just had a sheet saying, in big capitals 'CONSENT NOT GIVEN'...good job I didn't really have my life on the line waiting for that result!

It is offered but can be refused. I had to sign something saying I understood I didn't HAVE to have it. I have always gotten tested too even though I trust my hubby too! But not all women do.

Everyone who is pregnant does get tested, but that doesn't mean they have to tell you the truth.

Yes...That should be apart of the procedure for a pregnant woman.

It's required in California now, thanks to Schwarzenegger.
