AB  - OBJECTIVE: To determine the extent to which personal, behavioral, and 
      environmental factors are associated with human immunodeficiency virus/sexually 
      transmitted infection (HIV/STI) testing and disclosure. PARTICIPANTS: Nine 
      hundred thirty HIV-negative collegiate men who have sex with men (MSM) who 
      completed an online survey about alcohol use and sexual behavior. METHODS: 
      Correlates of testing and disclosure significant in bivariate analyses (p < .05) 
      were grouped into personal, behavioral, or environmental factors and entered into 
      multivariable logistic regression models. RESULTS: About half of participants 
      tested for HIV (51.9%) and for STIs (45.8%) at least annually. Over half (57.8%) 
      of participants always/almost always discussed HIV status with new sex partners; 
      61.1% with new unprotected sex partners. Personal and behavioral factors (age and 
      outness) explained differences in testing, and the behavioral factor (routine 
      testing) explained differences in disclosure. CONCLUSIONS: Collegiate MSM should 
      be supported in coming out, encouraged to engage in routine testing, and 
      counseled on discussing HIV/STI status with potential sex partners.
