Hispanic women (HW) are disproportionately affected by HIV, however, little is known regarding their perceived susceptibility for acquiring HIV (SAHIV). We studied predictive factors for perceiving SAHIV among HW. Participants (88.5%) reported not feeling SAHIV. Women who felt SAHIV, had a significant probability of reporting a higher chance for acquiring HIV from their partner's actions (OR 9.75), and a higher probability of not being tested for HIV (OR 2.05). Educational strategies to increase perception of SAHIV and HIV testing knowledge would be beneficial giving emphasis to women who do not perceive to be at risk from their partner's actions.
西班牙裔女性（HW）受艾滋病毒影响的比例过高，然而，对于她们对感染艾滋病毒的易感性（SAHIV）的认知却知之甚少。我们研究了HW中感知SAHIV的预测因素。参与者（88.5%）报告称没有感觉到SAHIV。感觉到SAHIV的女性，报告从伴侣行为感染艾滋病毒的可能性更高（比值比9.75），且未进行艾滋病毒检测的可能性更高（比值比2.05）。增加对SAHIV的认知和艾滋病毒检测知识的教育策略将是有益的，应重点关注那些认为自己不会因伴侣行为而面临风险的女性。
