Since 1985, the U.S. Armed Forces have conducted routine testing of personnel for antibodies to human immunodeficiency virus type 1. Sera that remain after testing are archived in the Department of Defense serum repository for potential uses in medical surveillance, clinical, and research activities. The goal of this study was to document the timing and completeness of routine human immunodeficiency virus type 1 testing among active duty military personnel and to identify factors associated with more recent testing. Demographic characteristics for active duty personnel were obtained from the Defense Medical Surveillance System. Of all individuals on active duty on August 31, 2001 (N = 1,370,367), 98.6% had been tested. Older personnel, those with postgraduate degrees, and married personnel had the longest time intervals since their most recent tests. The results of this analysis may inform the planning and conduct of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 prevention programs as well as deployment-related or other surveillance activities.
自1985年以来，美国武装部队对人员进行了针对1型人类免疫缺陷病毒抗体的例行检测。检测后剩余的血清保存在国防部血清库中，以备用于医学监测、临床和研究活动。本研究的目的是记录现役军人中常规1型人类免疫缺陷病毒检测的时间和完整性，并确定与最近检测相关的因素。现役人员的人口统计学特征来自国防医疗监测系统。在2001年8月31日现役的所有人员中（N = 1,370,367），98.6%的人接受了检测。年龄较大的人员、拥有研究生学位的人员和已婚人员自最近一次检测以来的时间间隔最长。该分析结果可为1型人类免疫缺陷病毒预防计划以及与部署相关或其他监测活动的规划和实施提供参考。
