“…29,30 HIV prevention services given by health care providers (HCP) and HIV test providers (HTP) have been shown to decrease risky behaviors, 30,31 to increase HIV testing, [32][33][34][35][36] to increase condom use, and to prevent sexually transmitted infections (STI). 30 Patient-provider relationships have also been found to positively impact behavior change.…”

We investigated whether there were racial/ethnic differences among young men who have sex with men (MSM) in their use of, perceived importance of, receipt of, and satisfaction with HIV prevention services received at health care providers (HCP) and HIV test providers (HTP) that explain racial disparities in HIV prevalence. Young men, aged 23 to 29 years, were interviewed and tested for HIV at randomly sampled MSM-identified venues in six U.S. cities from 1998 through 2000. Analyses were restricted to five U.S. cities that enrolled 50 or more black or Hispanic MSM. Among the 2,424 MSM enrolled, 1,522 (63%) reported using a HCP, and 1,268 (52%) reported having had an HIV test in the year prior to our interview. No racial/ethnic differences were found in using a HCP or testing for HIV. Compared with white MSM, black and Hispanic MSM were more likely to believe that HIV prevention services are important [respectively, AOR, 95% confidence interval (CI): 3.0, 1.97 to 4.51 and AOR, 95% CI: 2.7, 1.89 to 3.79], and were more likely to receive prevention services at their HCP (AOR, 95% CI: 2.5, 1.72 to 3.71 and AOR, 95% CI: 1.7, 1.18 to 2.41) and as likely to receive counseling services at their HTP. Blacks were more likely to be satisfied with the prevention services received at their HCP (AOR, 95% CI: 1.7, 1.14 to 2.65). Compared to white MSM, black and Hispanic MSM had equal or greater use of, perceived importance of, receipt of, and satisfaction with HIV prevention services. Differential experience with HIV prevention services does not explain the higher HIV prevalence among black and Hispanic MSM.

“…Although universal testing of adolescents is currently recommended in the U.S., previous studies have demonstrated that only 41% to 61% of adolescents offered a non-rapid HIV test agree to testing (Mehta et al, 2007;Goodman et al, 1994). Furthermore, only between one and two-thirds of adolescents who are tested return to receive their results and posttest counselling (Goodman et al, 1994;Ilegbodu et al, 1994;Lazebnik et al, 2001;Tsu et al, 2002).…”

A recent study by Mullins et al (2010) showed that 70% of adolescents preferred rapid to traditional HIV testing, and that rapid testers were more likely to receive their results within the follow-up period.…”

“…Providers have been demonstrated to influence consumers' HIV testing acceptance: repeated encouragement to test by clinicians increases HIV testing (105). For example, 73% of persons who initially refused HIV counseling and testing at an STD clinic accepted them when offered testing at a later visit (106).…”

“…Although repeat testing may have a secondary effect of decreasing risk behavior (92,105), it also may have a paradoxical effect: repeat negative testing, particularly among youth who repeatedly engage in highrisk behaviors, may foster notions of invulnerability that enable risk behavior (141,142). Gay men with a history of three or more previous HIV tests reported higher levels of risk behavior (42%) than gay men with two or less past tests (25%) (143), which may suggest that repeat testing is used in lieu of behavioral risk reduction among some individuals.…”

Summary: Biomedical advances, new HIV testing technologies, and policy shifts in the last 15 years have created substantial new challenges and opportunities for service providers, policy makers, and researchers regarding broad scale identification of HIVseropositive persons. Effective HIV testing will be achieved when we: (1) increase the number of high-risk persons tested; (2) decrease the time from HIV infection to detection; (3) increase testing acceptability; (4) increase the proportion of individuals tested who receive their results; and (5) increase the proportion of individuals tested seropositive who are linked to care. Strategies to enhance effectiveness include implementing new testing technologies and delivery modalities; expanding access to clientcontrolled testing; targeting providers' knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors regarding HIV testing; mainstreaming HIV testing as routine clinical care; targeting persons who engage in high-risk behaviors and those in high-risk groups; and implementing a national behavioral surveillance system. Addressing these challenges will improve HIV detection in the United States, which is vital to both HIV prevention and treatment.
