HIV testing typology for the baseline model (clinic test only) of HIV transmission dynamics among men who have sex with men in Seattle and Atlanta.
Tester type | Baseline testing behavior | Opportunistic testing behavior |
Never testers | None | None |
Opportunistic-only testers | None | Likelihood of testing when presented with an opportunity to test (varies by the tester type) |
Regular testers | Test interval varies by HIV risk category (defined by high vs low AIa frequency) | |
Risk-based testers | Testing likelihood and time to test varies by three types of events: (1) CAIb in non‐main partnership, (2) CAI within known serodiscordant partnership, and (3) Acquisition of new main partner | |
aAI: anal intercourse.
bCAI: condomless anal intercourse.
