Promoting HIV testing is an important strategy to end the HIV epidemic. HIV incidence among men who have sex with men (MSM) has increased rapidly in China in recent years, but HIV testing rates are still low. Our cross-sectional study investigated HIV testing rates and analyzed associated factors in 565 MSM in Changsha between April and December 2014. In the previous year, 37.7% of participants had not been tested, 38.2% had had one test, and 24.1% had had two or more tests. Those who initiated sexual debut at an older age, had known someone infected with HIV, or had been diagnosed with a sexually transmitted illness (STI) were more likely to have had an HIV test. HIV intervention programs in China should focus on sexually active young MSM, integrate HIV testing and counseling services in STI clinics, and describe real experiences of living with HIV to improve HIV testing in MSM.
推广艾滋病毒检测是终结艾滋病毒流行的一项重要策略。近年来，中国男男性行为者（MSM）中的艾滋病毒发病率迅速上升，但艾滋病毒检测率仍然很低。我们的横断面研究调查了2014年4月至12月期间长沙565名男男性行为者的艾滋病毒检测率，并分析了相关因素。在前一年，37.7%的参与者未接受检测，38.2%的人接受过一次检测，24.1%的人接受过两次或更多次检测。首次性行为年龄较大、认识艾滋病毒感染者或被诊断患有性传播疾病（STI）的人更有可能接受艾滋病毒检测。中国的艾滋病毒干预项目应关注性活跃的年轻男男性行为者，将艾滋病毒检测和咨询服务纳入性传播疾病诊所，并描述艾滋病毒感染者的真实生活经历，以提高男男性行为者的艾滋病毒检测率。
