Good morning. Am I anonymous when I apply for HIV testing in my town or do I have to go to a point to become anonymous?

To @Fjkl: The regulations provide that in the event of a positive test result for a biological pathogen (e.g. HIV, but also syphilis or gonorrhea), the laboratory diagnostician is obliged to report this fact to the locally competent district sanitary inspector within 24 hours of finding this fact. The person who underwent the examination may reserve their personal data. In such a situation, the diagnostician will also forward the notification to the sanitary inspection, but only the initials of the patient's name and surname, his age, sex and the name of the district competent for the place of residence will be given in the form. The reservation is made by submitting an appropriate declaration of will by the interested party in the institution where the examination was performed
So when I do a test in a lab, I'm not anonymous? Is this reportable?
