We estimated prevalence and odds ratios for self-reported HIV testing among sexually experienced young adults using nationally representative data obtained from Wave III of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health). The prevalence of testing in the past year was 18.8%. Young adults who had private or no health insurance were less likely to report testing than were young adults who had public health insurance, particularly in the South. Respondents with functional income were less likely to report testing than were those without functional income, particularly in the South and Northeast. Variable HIV testing based on finances and insurance should be addressed.
我们使用从青少年健康全国纵向研究（Add Health）第三波获得的具有全国代表性的数据，估计了有性经历的年轻成年人中自我报告的艾滋病毒检测的患病率和比值比。过去一年的检测患病率为18.8%。拥有私人保险或无医疗保险的年轻成年人比拥有公共医疗保险的年轻成年人报告进行检测的可能性更小，尤其是在南方。有功能性收入的受访者比没有功能性收入的受访者报告进行检测的可能性更小，尤其是在南方和东北部。应解决基于财务和保险的可变艾滋病毒检测问题。
