If a marine goes overseas to the middle east, do they do an HIV screening when they return to the US? ?

Question

I was just wondering if marines/soldiers/etc have to do an HUV test upon return from their service. I know that they have to take one before they leave or when they enter the service.

Answer 1

Didn't know you could get that from camels................

Answer 2

why would the middle east be any different than any other country...HIV testing is not a post deployment thing...It is a part of a normal physical and that is done frequently throughout their tour of duty.  They are given a cursory exam on return to spot possible post traumatic distress.  But for the most part they are just home.  Why are you so concerned?

Answer 3

I don't think there is a premeditated screening of servicemen for HIV. There are medical evaluations if a serviceman gets sick, or if the country in which they served has an outbreak of some kind, or there is an unusually large sick call list for a particular disorder.It would be preventive, our troops receive the best.
