“…Similar to previous studies, sexual or gender minority people had an increased prevalence of having ever been tested for HIV than heterosexuals [46]. This finding may be partly explained by higher levels of concern about sexual history among sexual or gender minorities groups and may reflect targeted efforts to increase HIV testing among sexual or gender minorities [46].…”

Background: Research examining factors associated with low uptake of HIV testing among Latino emerging adults is scarce. Thus, this study examined the association between familism support and HIV testing among Latino emerging adults, and whether nativity status and gender moderated this association. Methods:A cross-sectional online survey of 157 Latino emerging adults aged 18-25 years living in Arizona and Florida was conducted and data were analyzed using robust Poisson regression models.Results: Results indicated that 59.9% of participants had ever been tested for HIV. Higher familism support was associated with a decreased prevalence of having ever been tested for HIV (aPR= .81, 95% CI: .68-.95, p=.012). Nativity status moderated the association between familism Terms of use and reuse: academic research for non-commercial purposes, see here for full terms. https://www.springer.com/aamterms-v1

“…7 However, results from nationally representative US surveys show that the percentage of persons who had ever tested for HIV was 44% to 50% among persons at least 18 years of age 8,9 and 32% to 34% among persons aged 18 to 24 years. 9,10 Among studies that documented reasons for having never tested, the most common reasons were low HIV risk perception, fear of knowing that they were infected, and not having been offered an HIV test. [11][12][13] Factors associated with never having been tested among gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (collectively referred to as MSM) included younger age and a higher rate of HIV infection, 14 and lower education, greater internalized homophobia, and a higher rate of HIV infection.…”

“…The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that all persons aged 13 to 64 years are tested for HIV at least once and that persons who are at high risk for HIV acquisition are tested at least annually 7. However, results from nationally representative US surveys show that the percentage of persons who had ever tested for HIV was 44% to 50% among persons at least 18 years of age8,9 and 32% to 34% among persons aged 18 to 24 years 9,10. Among studies that documented reasons for having never tested, the most common reasons were low HIV risk perception, fear of knowing that they were infected, and not having been offered an HIV test 11–13.…”

Context: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that all persons aged 13 to 64 years are tested for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). However, results from US surveys show that 50% of persons and less had ever tested for HIV. Program: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention annually funds 60 health departments to conduct comprehensive HIV prevention and surveillance activities that include HIV testing. Implementation: We selected the 31 health departments with quality data (ie, ≤20% missing or invalid values for variables to verify linkage to HIV medical care and new HIV diagnoses) in 2019. Main outcomes were new HIV diagnoses, linkage, and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) awareness and referrals. We used SAS 9.4 to conduct descriptive, chi-square, and multivariate regression analyses. Our objectives were to determine outcomes and characteristics of persons in non–health care settings who tested for HIV for the first time. Evaluation: Compared with persons who previously tested for HIV, persons who tested for the first time were more likely to be aged 13 to 29 years than aged 30 years and older (62.0% [24 295/39 192] vs 42.1% [61 911/147 087], P < .001) and have a higher percentage of new HIV diagnoses (0.6% [242/39 320] vs 0.5% [667/147 475], P < .001). Among persons who tested for the first time, overall percentages of linkage, PrEP awareness, and PrEP referral were 73.4%, 33.3%, and 30.8%, respectively. Compared with referent groups, persons who tested for the first time in the South and had a new HIV diagnosis were less likely to be linked (adjusted prevalence ratio [aPR] = 0.72, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.59-0.89); persons who inject drugs were less likely to be aware of PrEP (aPR = 0.84, 95% CI: 0.77-0.91); and persons in the Northeast were less likely to receive PrEP referrals (aPR = 0.28, 95% CI: 0.26-0.31). Discussion: Non–health care sites should consider increasing HIV testing, PrEP awareness, and prompt referrals to PrEP and HIV treatment services for persons who have never previously tested.
