AB  - INTRODUCTION: Latina women in the United States (US) are not only 
      disproportionately affected by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection but 
      also underuse HIV prevention services, such as HIV testing. METHOD: HIV testing 
      events were examined to describe the HIV testing behaviors and test results among 
      Latinas tested in 2012 at publicly funded sites in Florida, United States. 
      Multivariable logistic regression was used to assess the demographic 
      characteristics associated with reports of previous testing and positive HIV test 
      results. RESULTS: Of the 184,037 testing events, 87,569 (45.6%) were among 
      non-Hispanic Blacks (NHBs), 47,926 (26.0%) non-Hispanic Whites (NHWs), 41,117 
      (22.3%) Latinas, 5,672 (3.1%) those with unknown race/ethnicity, and 1,753 (1.0%) 
      other racial/ethnic groups. Compared to NHW and NHB women, Latinas testing for 
      HIV were older (mean age = 32.1, NHW = mean age 30.3, NHB = mean age 30.0; p < 
      .0001). Results indicated that women who reported previous HIV testing had 
      decreased odds of being Latina (adjusted odds ratio = 0.90; 95% confidence 
      interval [0.87, 0.94]). CONCLUSION: These findings indicate that Latinas are 
      underusing HIV testing, and efforts are needed to increase the proportion of 
      Latinas, especially younger Latinas, tested for HIV in Florida.
