Article Abstract:

The frequency of self-reported failure to return for HIV test results (FTR) and associated reasons among persons at high risk for HIV infection is studied. Further it is suggested that increased pretest counseling on fear of learning HIV status and on availability of rapid testing may help reduce FTR.
