Research examining factors associated with low uptake of HIV testing among Latino emerging adults is scarce. Thus, this study examined the association between familism support and lifetime history of HIV testing among Latino emerging adults, and whether nativity status and gender moderated this association. A cross-sectional online survey of 157 Latino emerging adults aged 18-25 years living in Arizona and Florida was conducted and data were analyzed using robust Poisson regression models. Results indicated that 59.9% of participants reported a lifetime history of HIV testing. Higher familism support was associated with a decreased prevalence of lifetime history of HIV testing (aPR = 0.81, 95% CI: 0.68- 0.95). Nativity status moderated the association between familism support and lifetime history of HIV testing, with this negative association, only found among immigrants (aPR = 0.46, 95% CI: 0.28-0.74). Gender did not moderate this association. Familism support plays a role in HIV testing behaviors, and thus should be considered when developing programs to increase HIV testing among Latinos.
研究检查与拉丁裔青年成年人 HIV 检测接受率低相关的因素是稀缺的。因此，本研究探讨了家庭主义支持与拉丁裔青年成年人一生中 HIV 检测史之间的关系，以及出生地和性别是否调节了这种关系。对 157 名居住在亚利桑那州和佛罗里达州的 18-25 岁拉丁裔青年成年人进行了横断面在线调查，并使用稳健泊松回归模型分析数据。结果表明，59.9%的参与者报告了一生中 HIV 检测史。较高的家庭主义支持与较低的一生中 HIV 检测史发生率相关（aPR=0.81，95%CI：0.68-0.95）。出生地调节了家庭主义支持与一生中 HIV 检测史之间的关系，这种负相关仅在移民中发现（aPR=0.46，95%CI：0.28-0.74）。性别并没有调节这种关系。家庭主义支持在 HIV 检测行为中起着作用，因此在制定增加拉丁裔 HIV 检测的计划时应考虑这一点。
