Or those finger pricks,exactly HOW MUCH can a doctor figure out about you?
For example,whether your pregnant,a virgin,have HIV's,so on & so forth?
Answer:none of that, they don't test for any of that during the finger prick. it checks to make sure you have enough iron in your blood, and that you don't show signs of diabetes, and not much else. they can;t tell your a virgin unless they check you out down below if your a girl, they can't tell at all if your a guy. they run sperate tests to find if you have diseases.
I'm pretty sure they can find out whatever they want to look for through your blood.
He'd probably need more than a finger prick to find out all those things.
There's no way to tell if you're a virgin unless a gynocologist (I don't know if I spelled that right) checks your privates. However, blood tests can tell if you are pregnant, have STDs or HIV, have mono, or any other kind of condition like that. Finger pricks are usually used for testing sugar levels of your blood.
Doctors can not find out much through a regular CBC blood test. Blood has to be drawn and analyzed for specific test such a pregnancy hormones, HIV antigens, etc.
So, you will have to ask your doctor or clinc to test for specific things.
Usually, finger pricks on adults are used to test for blood sugar or hematocrit [blood count for anemia] only. There isn't enough of the specimen to do other tests.
