OBJECTIVES
To explore the role of partner communication and relationship status on HIV testing among Chinese/Chinese American college students in northern California.
METHODS
We used a cross-sectional study design to conduct focus groups and an online or paper-pencil questionnaire (N = 230).
RESULTS
The majority (60%) of respondents were in committed partnerships, with 21% in casual partnerships. Less than one third (30%) of respondents had ever obtained an HIV test. History of HIV tested was associated with relationship status and partner communication.
CONCLUSIONS
Interventions to increase partner communication skills while taking into account sociocultural factors among this population and their partners are needed.
