The U.S. National Health Interview Survey, a continuous survey of 50,000 households each year, conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics (CDC), includes questions on HIV knowledge. Although no specific questions on personal high risk behaviors have been asked, risk can be implied indirectly from a number of questions related to HIV testing (e.g., place of test, reason for being tested, and reason for not being tested, etc.). A "global" risk question similar to that used to screen blood donors and direct questions on risk of being or becoming infected were also asked. This poster will use demographic and the more general risk questions to "validate" the inferred risk categories and will compare knowledge levels of persons in the "low risk" and "higher risk" groups.
