The relationship between HIV knowledge and testing behavior is poorly understood among young Chinese-, Korean-, and Vietnamese-American women. This study assesses: (1) levels of HIV/AIDS knowledge, (2) lifetime and annual prevalence of HIV testing, and (3) whether higher levels of HIV knowledge were associated with increased likelihood of testing after controlling for HIV risk behaviors. Fifty-one percent reported lifetime HIV testing (n=117); among those tested, 53% were tested within the past year. A significant and positive association between scores on the HIV Knowledge Questionnaire (HIV KQ-45) and HIV testing was identified. This association was no longer statistically significant after controlling for sexual risk behaviors. Participants were most knowledgeable about HIV symptoms (88.6%) and least knowledgeable about treatment options (56.8%). Future studies should further characterize cultural factors affecting these women's sexual practices, as well develop culturally adapted HIV educational interventions to increase HIV knowledge and testing rates.
在中国、韩国和越南裔美国年轻女性中，人们对艾滋病病毒（HIV）知识与检测行为之间的关系了解甚少。本研究评估：（1）HIV/艾滋病知识水平；（2）HIV检测的终生患病率和年度患病率；（3）在控制了HIV风险行为后，较高的HIV知识水平是否与检测可能性增加相关。51%的人报告进行过终生HIV检测（n = 117）；在接受检测的人中，53%是在过去一年接受检测的。研究发现，HIV知识问卷（HIV KQ - 45）得分与HIV检测之间存在显著正相关。在控制了性风险行为后，这种关联不再具有统计学意义。参与者对HIV症状了解最多（88.6%），对治疗方案了解最少（56.8%）。未来的研究应进一步描述影响这些女性性行为的文化因素，并开发适合文化背景的HIV教育干预措施，以提高HIV知识水平和检测率。
