As injection drug users (IDUs) continue to be infected by HIV, an important component of prevention efforts is the identification of factors that are associated with utilization of HIV testing programs. The purpose of this study was to identify correlates of HIV testing within the past 12 months among IDUs. A sample of 558 IDUs, recruited from street-based and community venues, completed a cross-sectional survey. Multivariate logistic regression indicates factors independently associated with having been tested recently, including social structural factors such as being incarcerated, having interactions with an HIV prevention outreach worker, and having used a case manager. Furthermore, main sex partner's testing status was positively associated with recent testing. Support of programs that are designed to serve hard-to-reach populations and target couples may be effective in increasing HIV testing among active IDUs.
由于注射吸毒者（IDU）持续感染艾滋病毒，预防工作的一个重要组成部分是确定与艾滋病毒检测项目利用情况相关的因素。本研究的目的是确定过去12个月内注射吸毒者中艾滋病毒检测的相关因素。从街头和社区场所招募的558名注射吸毒者样本完成了一项横断面调查。多变量逻辑回归表明与近期接受检测独立相关的因素，包括社会结构因素，如被监禁、与艾滋病毒预防外展工作者互动以及使用个案管理员。此外，主要性伴侣的检测状况与近期检测呈正相关。支持旨在服务难以接触到的人群并针对伴侣的项目可能有效地增加活跃注射吸毒者中的艾滋病毒检测。
