title: Sexual orientation differences in HIV testing motivation among college men.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate sexual orientation differences in college men's motivations for HIV testing.
  
  
  METHODS
  665 male college students in the Southeastern United States from 2006 to 2014.
  
  
  METHODS
  Students completed a survey on HIV risk factors and testing motivations. Logistic regressions were conducted to determine the differences between heterosexual men (HM) and sexual minority men (SMM).
  
  
  RESULTS
  SMM were more motivated to get tested by concern over past condomless sex, while HM were more often cited supporting the testing program "on principle" and wanting a free t-shirt. SMM and HM differed in behaviors that impact HIV risk and other demographics. However, differences in testing motivation by concern over past condomless sex or wanting a free t-shirt persisted when controlling for these demographic and behavioral differences.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Appropriately designed HIV prevention interventions on college campuses should target SMM's distinct concern over past condomless sex as a testing motivation.
