AB  - We assessed the extent to which sociodemographic, personal, and behavioral 
      factors are associated with human immunode fi ciency virus/sexually transmitted 
      infection (HIV/STI) testing among a diverse group of Latino men who have sex with 
      men (MSM) in New York City. The triangulation approach was used to synthesize 
      data from 176 MSM who completed an in-person or phone questionnaire about 
      substance use, alcohol consumption, sexual behaviors, and HIV/STI testing history 
      and 40 participants who participated in focus groups. Correlates of testing 
      significant in univariable analyses (p < .05) were entered into multivariable 
      logistic regression models. Over half (57.9%) of study subjects tested for HIV in 
      the previous 12 months and 60.2% tested for STIs in the previous 12 months. Age 
      and education were positively correlated with HIV testing in multivariable 
      analysis. No significant correlates of STI testing were identified. 
      Spanish-speaking only subjects were less likely to get tested for HIV and STI; 
      however, this association was not significant. Our study demonstrates the need 
      for further study of predictors of STI testing as well as the potential role of 
      language barriers and education in routine testing for HIV. Social and behavioral 
      factors may intensify these obstacles. Future research and interventions should 
      address the role of language barriers and perceived issues of immigration status 
      in the decision to get tested.
