Why Is This Important?

Knowing they have HIV infection allows people with HIV to protect other people with whom they have sex or share drugs and needles from becoming infected. Knowing that one is positive for HIV helps that person to make better decisions about sex and health care. Persons who know they have HIV can get medical care and take antiviral medications that can reduce HIV spread by as much as 96%.

Definition

Percentage of adults aged 18-64 years who have ever been tested for HIV.

Data Source

Behavioral Risk Factor Survey, Center for Health Statistics, New Jersey Department of Health
(http://www.nj.gov/health/chs/njbrfs/)

How the Measure is Calculated

Numerator:Weighted number of survey respondents in designated subgroup who reported ever been tested for HIV.
Denominator:Weighted total number of survey respondents in designated subgroup except those with missing, "Don't know/Not sure," and "Refused" responses.

What Is Being Done?

HIV rapid tests have been developed allowing an individual to receive a result in 20 to 40 minutes. These tests are offered at many of New Jersey's publicly funded sites. This should greatly increase the percentage of persons tested for HIV at publicly funded sites who receive their test results.
