Note. CI = confidence interval.

a

Percentage of persons aged 18–64 years never tested for HIV (i.e., answered “no” to the question “Have you ever been tested for HIV? Do not count tests you may have had as part of a blood donation. Include fluid from your mouth”) and had a past-year routine checkup (i.e., answered “within the past year [anytime less than 12 months ago]” to the question “About how long has it been since you last visited a doctor for a routine checkup?”).

b

Percentage of persons aged 18–64 years who had a past-year routine checkup (i.e., answered “within the past year [anytime less than 12 months ago]” to the question “About how long has it been since you last visited a doctor for a routine checkup? [A routine checkup is a general physical exam, not an exam for a specific injury, illness, or condition]”).

c

Percentage of US adults aged 18–64 years having ever been tested for HIV (i.e., answered “yes” to the question “Have you ever been tested for HIV? Do not count tests you may have had as part of a blood donation. Include fluid from your mouth”).

d

Percentage of US adults aged 18–64 years ever tested for HIV if there is an absolute percentage increase in having ever been tested for HIV at past-year routine checkups.

e

Asian, American Indian/Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, multiracial, other.

f
