Adults ever tested for HIV, U.S. 2006

Note: In recognition of December 1, 2007 as World AIDS Day, CDC is highlighting this previous Data & Statistics feature on Adult HIV Testing in the United States. For more information on World AIDS Day, see CDC's World AIDS Day 2007 feature (http://www.cdc.gov/Features/WorldAidsDay/).

Percentage of Adults Ever Tested for HIV, United States, 2006

Results are based on responses to the following question: "Except for tests you may have had as part of blood donations, have you ever been tested for HIV?" Among both men and women, non-Hispanic blacks (51.6% of men and 53.5% of women) were more likely to report ever being tested for HIV than Hispanics (35.7% of men and 46.1% of women) and non-Hispanic whites (30.5% of men and 33.5% of women). Overall, women (37.8%) were more likely than men (33.7%) to report ever being tested for HIV.

Estimates of population percentages are based on household interviews of a sample of the civilian, noninstitutionalized U.S. population, in the National Health Interview Survey (2006). The Total population includes non-Hispanics of other races or multiple races.
