Few studies have examined the factors associated with HIV testing, specifically among U.S. high-school girls.
Investigators analyzed 2015 and 2017 Youth Risk Behavior Survey data to calculate the prevalence ratios and the corresponding 95% CIs for the association of HIV-related risk behaviors and other factors with HIV testing. Analyses were completed in March 2020.
Approximately 1 in 10 high-school girls reported ever having had an HIV test. Ever having had an HIV test was most common among girls who had ≥4 lifetime sexual partners and those who had ever injected illegal drugs.
High-school girls who engage in behaviors or experience other factors that put them at higher risk for HIV are more likely to have ever gotten tested. However, the prevalence of having ever had an HIV test remains relatively low, indicating that continued efforts may be warranted to reduce risk behaviors and increase testing among high-school girls.
很少有研究调查与 HIV 检测相关的因素,特别是在美国的高中女生中。
研究人员分析了 2015 年和 2017 年的青少年风险行为调查数据,以计算 HIV 相关风险行为和其他因素与 HIV 检测之间的关联的患病率比及其相应的 95%置信区间。分析于 2020 年 3 月完成。
约有十分之一的高中女生报告曾进行过 HIV 检测。曾经进行过 HIV 检测的女生中,性伴侣≥4 个和曾经注射过非法药物的女生最常见。
有更高 HIV 风险行为或经历过其他因素的高中女生更有可能进行过 HIV 检测。然而,曾经进行过 HIV 检测的比例仍然相对较低,这表明可能需要继续努力,以减少高中女生的风险行为并增加检测。
