[Psychosocial factors of participation in HIV testing].
The relevance of the attitude toward the HIV test, the subjectively perceived infection risk, the expected consequences of testing, and the perceived reference group influences for HIV antibody testing is studied. 211 persons, who were tested for AIDS in an AIDS consulting institution, and 86 controls, who had not been tested, participated in the study. The significance of the results for AIDS prevention is discussed.
