I need to have a blood test done just as a precaution for STDS to test for HIV, Hepatisis,etc..which I am sure I don't have anyways..but the DR just wants me to have it all done.. ANYWAYS...if I only smoked a couple joints between 4 of us and I only do weed a couple times a month probably...just on a weekend sometimes...will it show up if they test me for HIV,etc? How long should I wait? Or should I just go anyways? The last time I done it was 2 days ago. I am going to the hospital early next week...
I don't want any lectures from people about doing weed please :) just an answer to my question if you have any input.
Additional info, added Friday July 15 2005, 8:34 am: Thanks for SOME people's feedback..just for the record I haven't had unprotected sex so AIDs,HIV ,etc aren't possible for me to have..I wanted a test for a treatable STD which I probalby don't have but just as a precaution because my bf's ex gf has it....
just wanted to know if drugs would show up in the tests ..thanX . Want to answer more questions in the Health & Fitness category? Maybe give some free advice about: Illnesses? karenR answered Tuesday July 19 2005, 12:02 am: It probably won't show up unless they test for it. Go anyway. They aren't going to turn you in or anything like that. They won't blab either. Just go. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]

IndieKidsCanRock answered Thursday July 14 2005, 2:42 pm: ♥Drug use will only show up during drug tests. If the doctor is testing for HIV, he isn't even concerned about drugs. Although, if you DO test positive for HIV he might do a drug test to see the cause of it, I doubt it though. You're safe unless your parents (if they're the ones testing you) sneak in a drug test.) I think you're safe but if you really are concerned, don't smoke any more and go to a department store to find de-toxification pills (if they sell them there.)

Courtney answered Thursday July 14 2005, 1:03 pm: If it's next week when you take the test, you should be fine but I wouldn't suggest taking anymore substances that could be detected by the test for precaution. Just stay off that stuff until then and you should be cool. I know that it's a 72 hour time period that can make it where they can't detect drugs in your system. But to be sure, wait till after the test to take them. [ Courtney's advice column | Ask Courtney A Question ]
