Madam,
No doctor suggested us to go both of us for test,since she has gone as a normal routine during pregnancy.
As I concerned I had done intercourse only with my wife and had no other physical contacts with anyone.
My family doctor or the gynecologist never asked me for any test.

Brief Answer:
Your blood test is also equally important.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
HIV can be transmitted through blood and shared needles also.
It is best to get your test also done to rule out the infection completely.
Hope I have answered a query.
Take care
