The rate of cases of HIV/AIDS in older people is increasing; indeed one out of every four people with HIV/AIDS is over age 50. This study describes the correlates of HIV Voluntary Counseling and Testing (VCT) using structural equation modeling techniques for a sample of 135 middle-aged and middle-aged and older Latinas in South Florida. Over 60% of participants had been tested for HIV. Provider endorsement was found to be the strongest predictor of VCT (odds ratio [OR] = 6. 38), followed by having a clinic as a regular source of healthcare (OR = 3.88). Social work implications are provided.
老年人中感染艾滋病毒/艾滋病的病例率正在上升；事实上，每四个感染艾滋病毒/艾滋病的人中就有一个年龄超过50岁。本研究使用结构方程建模技术，对南佛罗里达州135名中年及老年拉丁裔女性样本进行了描述，分析了艾滋病毒自愿咨询和检测（VCT）的相关因素。超过60%的参与者接受过艾滋病毒检测。研究发现，提供者的认可对VCT的预测作用最强（优势比[OR]=6.38），其次是将诊所作为常规医疗保健来源（OR=3.88）。文中还给出了社会工作方面的启示。
