In a survey of 2,548 adolescents, 11.5 percent reported ever having had the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody test. Those who had been tested were significantly more likely to be male, black, and to reside in metropolitan areas than those who had not been tested. Tested adolescents were more than three times as likely to report having injected drugs and were more than twice as likely to have had sexual intercourse, had sexual intercourse at earlier ages, and with multiple partners. More than half of adolescents who had been HIV-tested had no reported risks for HIV infection. More than one-quarter of adolescents not tested reported at least one HIV risk factor. These data suggest the importance of discussing the HIV testing and counseling process within any HIV education program directed to adolescents.
在一项针对2548名青少年的调查中，11.5%的青少年报告称曾接受过人体免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）抗体检测。与未接受检测的青少年相比，接受检测的青少年更有可能是男性、黑人，且居住在大都市地区。接受检测的青少年报告称注射过毒品的可能性是未接受检测青少年的三倍多，有过性行为、初次性行为年龄更早且有多个性伴侣的可能性是未接受检测青少年的两倍多。接受HIV检测的青少年中，超过一半的人报告没有感染HIV的风险因素。未接受检测的青少年中，超过四分之一的人报告至少有一个HIV风险因素。这些数据表明，在针对青少年的任何HIV教育项目中讨论HIV检测和咨询过程非常重要。
