Values may not sum to 100% due to missing observations on each of the following variables: usual source of care (recent HIV tested, 151 missings; ever HIV tested, 186 missings), insurance status (recent HIV tested, 4 missings) HIV knowledge (recent HIV tested, 10 missings; ever HIV tested, 18 missings), perceived HIV risk (past 12 months, 1 missing; ever tested, 1 missing), and monthly income (past 12 months, 8 missings).

STD=sexually transmitted disease; ER=emergency room; MSM=men having sex with men; IDU=injection drug use
