Homeless youth experience increased risk of contracting HIV, making HIV testing imperative in this population. We analyzed factors associated with HIV testing among homeless youth in Atlanta, Georgia using data from the 2015 Atlanta Youth Count and Needs Assessment. The analysis included 693 homeless youth aged 14-25 years, of whom 88.4% reported ever being tested for HIV, and 74.6% reported being tested within the previous year. Prevalence of ever testing for HIV was significantly higher among youth who reported risk factors for HIV (sexually active, transactional sex, or ever having an STI). Higher prevalence of testing within the last year was significantly associated with experiencing physical abuse or transactional sex. However, reporting ≥ 4 sexual partners or not using condoms were not associated with higher testing. Although testing prevalence among homeless youth was high, homeless youth engaging in certain high risk behaviors could benefit from further promotion of HIV testing.

亚特兰大流浪青年中与艾滋病毒检测相关的因素

无家可归的青年人感染艾滋病毒的风险增加，因此必须在这一人群中进行艾滋病毒检测。我们使用2015年亚特兰大青年人数和需求评估中的数据分析了佐治亚州亚特兰大无家可归青年的艾滋病毒检测相关因素。该分析包括693位年龄在14-25岁之间的无家可归青年，其中88.4％的人曾报告接受过艾滋病毒检测，而74.6％的人报告曾在去年进行过检测。在报告有HIV危险因素（性活跃，性交易或性传播感染）的年轻人中，曾经进行过HIV检测的患病率显着更高。在过去的一年中，较高的测试发生率与遭受身体虐待或性交易密切相关。但是，报告≥4个性伴侣或不使用安全套与更高的检测率无关。
