10 years of sexual activity never been tested
HELLO IVE BEEN SEXUALLY ACTIVE FOR 10 YEARS IVE HAD 33 SEXUAL PARTNERS SOME HAVE BEEN PROTECTED AND SOME HAVENT I HAVE NOT EVER BEEN TESTED NOW IM PREGNANT AND NERVOUS BECAUSE OF MY PAST ....I WANT MY BABY ME AND MY BOYFRIEND BUT I NEED TO KNOW WHAT SHOULD I DO ...
Just wondering! Not a gullable person! You never know in todays world, and if it were true, it would have ruined every movie I ever saw him in! It just seemed right out of the blue, so I figured "hell I guess it is a possibility".
Chris Farley!!! Another great. He was an idiot, but I loved him!!! I love most of the Saturday Night Live Talents. Will Farrel is the only one thats gets to me though. Most of the time when I watch his movies, I laugh a little. When I bring myself to watch it the second time, I laugh my @$$ off! I saw Blades of Glory on a 12 hr plane ride "I woke everyone up!"
I love cold and cloudy! break out the hot choclate/coffee/hot tea, light a fire, wrap up in a big blanket, and watch National Lampoons Christmas Vacation, followed by The Great Outdoors.
Just had to pick with you! Once you see people on here alot, you have to joke everynow and then. Loosens things up!
Listen to everyone and put it together. Everyone here is right, when it comes to your post. Test to relieve your fears and worries, because that is what you came here for. You were scared. A negative test, which it will be, will get rid of all questions with a definitive answer. OH yeah! Ohio? Not picking on you but the word "PEICE" is spelled "PIECE". Noticed it a couple of times and it was bugging the hell out of me! I before E except after C! Just Kidding with you!!!!!! Take it easy!!
Nevertheless she needs to find out if she has been tested and if not she needs to get tested for her and babys sake.
I have to disagree b/c when I was pregnant they told me they were going to test for hiv and I could sign a peice of paper refusing it or a peice of paper to get my results back. That was my case though. I had no insurance and seen an ob through womans health clinic so maybe that has somthing to do with it.
Found somthing helpful in this case @ http://www.thebody.com/content/treat/art12810.html
In most cases, health care providers cannot test you for HIV without your permission. However, the U.S. Public Health Service recommends that all pregnant women be tested. If you are thinking about being tested, it is important to understand the different ways perinatal HIV testing is done. There are two main approaches to HIV testing in pregnant women: opt-in and opt-out testing.
In opt-in testing, a woman cannot be given an HIV test unless she specifically requests to be tested. Often, she must put this request in writing.
In opt-out testing, health care providers must inform pregnant women that an HIV test will be included in the standard group of tests pregnant women receive. A woman will receive that HIV test unless she specifically refuses. The CDC currently recommends that health care providers adopt an opt-out approach to perinatal HIV testing.
Please everyone who is pregnant GET TESTED!!!

Chris and Ohio are right! In some states it is not automatic, but it is suggested by most Doctors (in the states where it isn't automatic).
All states can test baby w/o permission though even if the mother refused testing herself. Why would anyone refuse testing?

I did not think they did w/o permission. Did you sign a paper reguarding hiv?
You really need to make sure you get tested.
