How hard would it be for a medical doctor to transfer?

Does a Doctor transfer HIV results to NEW Doctor?

• Did my doctor do something illegal? Sometime in November of 08 I had asked my Doctor for an HIV/STD test so he took blood from me. I waited about almost a week then I called and he gave me the results(Test came back Negative for everything). In about May 09 I switched doctors and She(Doctor) had ask me to call my old doctor and tell them to send her the results from when I had taken my Blood Sugar Test, Cholesterol levels etc, however*** they did NOT send her the HIV test results. Now does my old Doctor keep it discrete unless my new Doctor asked for them??? Im freaked out again because my NEW doctor told me she didnt get any HIV test results from them?? Im so freaked out again because i have to get another HIV test( I havent had sex since though) BUT i want to make sure my DOC took an HIV test because I dont remember signing any piece of paper (I live in NY) If my Doc told me the test came up Negative and he dosent have documents to prove it, im going to sue. BUT PLEASE I NEED SOME INFO PEOPLE THANK YOU

• Answer:

  Take a deep breath and relax before you "sue". HIV/AIDs testing as well as Mental Health info requires a specific, separate consent.
