If you donate blood, do they test it for HIV/AIDS before they give it to someone? If you had it would they tell you? I'm specifically talking about Wisconsin...I don't know if it changes from state to state. Thank You

Theoretically, yes; however, I have this complete and total mistrust of anything involved in Western medicine. The practitoners thereof are nothing but chemical-pushing charlatans in the vein of the mid- to late 19th century snake oil salesmen.

Yes it is.
7 :
yes it will be tested

yes they screen it for HIV and hepatitis too. as for telling you, i don't think they do they may contact your doctor and inform him. but if you are refused as a blood donor, you have a right to ask why but you are supposed to be counselled before being given the news.
9 :
Of course , they test it for HIV.
10 :
All donated blood is tested for HIV (the virus that can lead to AIDS), hepatitis C, and I think some other things as well. If you test positive for anything, the donation center notifies you. The blood is not used. If you test positive for HIV or hepatitis C, you are also notified that you are no longer allowed to donate blood.
