FIPS: Need to use FIPS versions of (EVP) methods ?

In FIPS mode, is there a need to use the FIPS_* methods instead of the
regular ones once FIPS_mode_set(1) was successfully executed ?  For
instance, is there a need to use FIPS_evp_sha1() instead of EVP_sha1()
?  Wouldn't the FIPS version of EVP_sha1() be used automatically when
in FIPS mode ?

Thanks.
