Concurrence of drug users' self-report of current HIV status and serotest results

Article Abstract:

Many drug addicts who are HIV-positive may say they are not or may not be aware that they are. In a study of 7,256 drug addicts, 99% of those who were HIV-negative said they were HIV negative, but only half of those who were HIV-positive said they were HIV-positive. This shows that self-reports of HIV status may not be accurate.
