OAB - Although Hispanics comprise only 9% of the US population, they account for 16% of 
      AIDS cases. This study used data from the 4390 heterosexual Hispanics interviewed 
      as part of the 1990-91 National AIDS Behavioral Survey to determine the 
      prevalence and demographic correlates of HIV antibody testing and condom use 
      among Hispanics at risk for HIV. Overall, 16.4% of respondents reported an HIV 
      risk factor, primarily two or more sexual partners in the last 12 months (64%) or 
      a high-risk main sex partner (26%). Those at risk tended to be highly 
      acculturated unmarried males aged 18-29 years of European Spanish, South 
      American, or Caribbean origin, with more than 12 years of education, an annual 
      income under US$10,000, and infrequent church attendance. 35.3% of these 
      high-risk persons had been tested for HIV; male gender and middle-income status 
      were the strongest predictors of testing. Condoms were used at least half the 
      time with a primary partner by 22.4% and with secondary partners by 44.7%, with 
      higher use rates among acculturated Hispanics. The low prevalence of condom use 
      and HIV testing among high-risk Hispanics underscores the need for campaigns that 
      reinforce the acceptability of condom use as a social norm. Because US Hispanics 
      are a heterogeneous group, such campaigns should target specific subgroups, 
      including different national origins and levels of acculturation.
