You must specifically get an HIV test, that is the only way to tell if you have HIV antibodies in your blood.

It is a blood test, generally. Check out this site for information regarding HIV testing: http://www.avert.org/testing.htm

There are treatments available that can prolong life to normal life expectancies in HIV individuals.
