Decreases in high-risk behavior have been observed when people have sought anonymous or confidential HIV-antibody testing accompanied by counseling. HIV-antibody testing also benefits those who are tested, since people who find that they are seropositive can receive closer medical follow-up, and, in certain cases, medical treatment. However, debates continue about appropriate testing policy. This study concerns the conditions under which people who are currently seeking anonymous testing at an alternative test site would be willing to obtain testing. On self-administered questionnaires all sexual orientation/gender groups expressed reluctance to obtain testing if anonymity were not assured. Bisexual men were especially concerned about seeking testing if there was mandatory reporting. Believing that one was infected with HIV was slightly associated with a decreased inclination to obtain testing under non-anonymous circumstances.
当人们寻求匿名或保密的艾滋病毒抗体检测并接受咨询时，已观察到高危行为有所减少。艾滋病毒抗体检测对接受检测的人也有益处，因为那些发现自己血清呈阳性的人可以得到更密切的医疗随访，并且在某些情况下可以接受治疗。然而，关于适当的检测政策的争论仍在继续。本研究关注目前在替代检测地点寻求匿名检测的人愿意接受检测的条件。在自行填写的问卷上，所有性取向/性别群体都表示，如果不能保证匿名，他们不愿意接受检测。双性恋男性尤其担心在有强制报告的情况下寻求检测。认为自己感染了艾滋病毒与在非匿名情况下接受检测的意愿降低略有关联。
