In summary, testing for HIV

In summary, testing for HIV is more common among those who are currently sexually active and who report casual and multiple partners. This also holds true for women, those aged 25 to 44, parents with younger children and individuals who know someone with the disease. In addition, people with high (perceived or actual) knowledge, those with high comfort levels around people with HIV/AIDS and people who are less apt to distance themselves from the issue are more apt to have been tested for HIV/AIDS in the past two years. A higher frequency of testing is reported among youth and those with casual or multiple partners.
