Hispanic 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 adult Hispanics, 35.7% of men and 46.1% of women reported ever being tested for HIV. 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.
