1 :
they put some kind of liquid just under your skin on your arm and look at it in 3 or 4 days, I can't remember how long, and if you don't have a reaction, you don't have it and are not a carrier of it.
2 :
They'll inject a tiny amount (about a drop) of liquid under your skin, on your forearm. It does hurt a little as with most needlesticks, but the pain goes away real quick. Then you have to go back to them in two or three days so they can tell you if you've tested positive or not
