No not unless they're specifically testing for that purpose. If you're HIV positive, you should tell any health professional treating you though. Or if you're wanting to be tested, you need to discuss it with your doctor.
2 :
no. only if you ask them to. the only loophole to that is the Ryan White Care Act. it states that EMS personnel can find out whether they were exposed to life threatening diseases while providing care. which means if you were brought to the hospital in an ambulance and any of the EMTs were dangerously exposed to your blood or bodily fluid, they can test you for HIV/AIDS. however they would tell you when doing so.

Nope you have to specifically ask for it. You seem to be asking a lot of questions in the STD section so I'm assuming you should probably see a doctor and get a pap smear and get tested for STD's and make sure that you ask for a AIDS and herpes test because they don't normally test for them so you have to specifically ask for them.
