INTRODUCTION: HIV testing is the portal to serostatus knowledge that can empower linkage to care for HIV treatment and HIV prevention. However, young people's access to HIV testing is uneven worldwide. The objective of this paper is to review the context and concerns faced by youth around HIV testing in low- as well as high-income country settings. DISCUSSION: HIV testing is a critical entry point for primary and secondary prevention as well as care and treatment for young people including key populations of vulnerable youth. We provide a framework for thinking about the role of testing in the continuum of prevention and care for young people. Brief case study examples from Kenya and the US illustrate some of the common barriers and issues involved for young people. CONCLUSIONS: Young people worldwide need more routine access to HIV testing services that effectively address the developmental, socio-political and other issues faced by young women and men.
引言：艾滋病毒检测是了解血清学状态的途径，有助于推动与艾滋病毒治疗及预防相关的护理工作。然而，在全球范围内，年轻人获得艾滋病毒检测的机会并不均等。本文旨在审视低收入和高收入国家环境下年轻人在艾滋病毒检测方面所面临的背景情况和关切问题。 讨论：艾滋病毒检测是初级和二级预防以及年轻人（包括弱势青年关键人群）护理与治疗的关键切入点。我们提供了一个框架，用于思考检测在年轻人预防和护理连续过程中的作用。来自肯尼亚和美国的简短案例说明了年轻人面临的一些常见障碍和问题。 结论：全球的年轻人需要更常规地获得艾滋病毒检测服务，这些服务要能有效解决年轻男女所面临的发展、社会政治及其他问题。
