摘要：

In this study, we explore the factors associated with the uptake of HIV testing at the national level in Canada. Using the 2015-16 Canadian Community Health Survey and applying logistic regression analysis, we examine the associations between HIV testing and factors identified by the Andersen's behavioral model of healthcare utilization. We find that a range of predisposing, enabling, and need factors are significantly associated with HIV testing. For example, compared to the oldest respondents (i.e. 55-64), their younger counterparts (i.e. 45-54, 35-44, and 25-34) are more likely to have been tested for HIV. Compared to those in Atlantic Canada, respondents in Quebec (OR = 1.96, p < .001), Ontario (OR = 1.44, p < .001), Prairies (OR = 1.37, p < .001), British Columbia (OR = 1.99, p < .001), and the Territories (OR = 2.22, p < .001) are all more likely to have been tested for HIV. Based on these findings, we provide several important suggestions for policymakers and future research.
