no a full blood count does mot test for HIV or AIDS and urinalysis doesn't detect it either.

I would ask them what is included in your physical, and be sure to get copies of any test results - just for your own records. I assume that they can test for pretty much anything they want - as long as they have your permission to do so. If you are in the US, they aren't allowed to have medical records that you do not have access to, and I don't think that they can legally test you for anything that you don't want to be tested for. Of course, to get the job, you'll want to give your consent, but at least you'll know what you're giving your consent FOR. All this basically means that I have no idea what they will and won't test for - but that they COULD test you for pretty much anything.

With a CBC, HIV and STIs cannot be detected. With a standard urinalysis, HIV and STIs cannot be detected. However, there are urine tests for HIV and STIs --- while these are not tested for in a standard urinalysis, if they have a sample of your urine the tests could be performed. They must have consent to test you for HIV. When you are going for your physical you have a right to ask the physician what exactly he is testing you for.
