* HIV tests were defined as tests for which a result (i.e., positive or negative) was known. Analyses excluded discordant and indeterminate results.
† Included are persons who tested HIV-positive and did not report a previous positive test result, calculated using HIV surveillance verification (if available) or a person’s self-reported previous HIV status.
