Abstract 

Hazardous drinking increases the risk of contracting and transmitting human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). This study aimed to determine the prevalence of HIV testing among hazardous drinkers using the 2006 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System dataset. Adjusted odds ratios were obtained using multivariable logistic regression for the relationship between hazardous drinking and HIV testing. Results indicated that adjusting for confounders, hazardous drinkers (1) had 0.86 (95% CI: 0.84, 0.89) the odds of ever having had an HIV test compared to nonhazardous drinkers. Therefore public health interventions targeted at hazardous drinkers to increase the rate of HIV testing are suggested. The study's limitations are noted.
