Test confused

I plan to have a baby soon I hope !
When do you do the blood test with NHS?, do you do the blood test in your nhs surgery with the 1st scan or do you have to go to the hospital for that?
What is the blood test about, do you need to do hiv test or do they ask if you want do it, because I did it in France before getting married.
Thanks a lot for your help
