AB  - The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend regular HIV testing for individuals with ongoing risk exposure, yet delays in testing remain a concern. Rapid HIV antibody testing offers advantages over conventional testing, including the absence of laboratory requirements and immediate results. This study examined whether the use of rapid HIV tests was associated with more timely testing among individuals engaging in traditional HIV risk behaviors. A secondary analysis was conducted using data collected from publicly funded HIV testing programs between 2003 and 2007, focusing on individuals who reported recognized risk behaviors. The findings aimed to assess whether rapid testing approaches improve testing timeliness compared with conventional HIV testing methods.
