Acceptability of rapid HIV testing among Latinos in Washington Heights, New York City, New York, USA.
In the United States, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has a disproportionately large impact on Latino Americans. Seventy-five percent of those surveyed accepted rapid HIV testing when offered. More religious participants were less likely than less religious participants to undergo testing. Participants tested for HIV within the past year were less likely than those who had not been tested within the past year to agree to undergo testing.
AHRQ-funded; HS022961.
