本文件的重点是原因，不采取艾滋病毒检测在未经测试的男男性行为者（MSM）。从一项基于网络的MSM调查中，选择了1627名从未进行过艾滋病毒检测的MSM进行报告分析。结果表明，对阳性检测结果的恐惧及其预期后果被报告为高危应答者不进行艾滋病毒检测的最重要原因。无风险应答者不进行艾滋病毒检测的最重要原因与认为艾滋病毒感染风险低有关。未来的干预措施，以促进艾滋病毒检测的影响进行了讨论。
The present paper focuses on reasons for not taking an HIV-test among untested men who have sex with men (MSM). From an MSM web-based survey, 1627 MSM who had never tested for HIV were selected for the reported analyses. Results show that fear of a positive test result and the perceived consequences thereof, are reported as the most important reasons for not taking an HIV-test among at-risk respondents. The most important reasons for not taking an HIV-test among no-risk respondents are related to perception of low risk for HIV-infection. Implications for future interventions to promote HIV-testing are discussed.
