Suboptimal recent and regular HIV testing among black men who have sex with men in the United States: Implications from a meta-analysis

Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes May 22, 2019

Liu Y, et al. - As black men who have sex with men (BMSM) continues to have the least favorable continuum of HIV care in the United States, researchers performed meta-analysis of various HIV testing patterns [lifetime, after 24 months, after 12 months, after 6 months, and frequent (every 3–6 months) testing] and the HIV testing prevalence among BMSM. A total of 42,074 BMSM pooled from 67 studies were included in this meta-analysis. Outcomes revealed a high lifetime HIV testing prevalence (88.2%), however, they had low recent (after 6 months = 63.4%) and frequent (42.2%) HIV testing prevalence. As per meta-regression, lower lifetime/recent HIV testing prevalence was noted in correlation to younger age (borderline significant), lower annual income, and homelessness; while higher lifetime/recent HIV testing prevalence was noted in correlation to ever having condomless insertive/receptive sex, alcohol consumption, and illicit drug use.
