Would they check for HIV?

No direct test would be done, though there could be changes in white cell count that might suggest a viral infection it cannot typically be attributable ato the HIV virus as can be lots of other possibilities. If you have any risk factors for HIV then testing should be done. I personally don't agree enthusiastically with EVERYONE getting tested, if one looks at the economics behind any "test all" phenomenon the devil often is in the details. More cases are likely prevented with targeted populations, so needle exchanges for IV drug users and condoms given to sex trade workers ect...
The tests that would be conducted with your blood and urine samples will not be decided solely on the basis of your flu symptoms. There has to be history of risky life style and possible exposure to potential or diagnosed HIV patient, accidental inoculation with contaminated needle. At the end of the consult, you will be told exactly what you will be tested for to rule out or rule in a set of differential diagnoses. Your blood will not be tested for any condition you have not been made aware of, or to which you have not given consent. A simple phone call to the urgent care provider will clear any doubts about what you are being tested for.
HIV is not a routine test. That being said, they probably had done a CBC-complete blood count- which could pickup the effects of having the HIV in your system. It is not a good test for diagnosis though.
If you had unprotected sex, this could be reason for your insurance yo cover the test.
You should go get an annual exam done and talk with you doctor regarding all the thoughts/questions you want answered. Sort of a screening exam with test for your general wellbeing.
Good luck
