 Anonymous testing is available in state and local health departments, in cases of occupational exposure, through home testself-test technologies, and research studies including our local NHBS studies with HHR. There is some evidence to suggest individuals who test anonymously do so earlier in the course of their HIV disease than those who engage in confidential testing. Additionally, anonymous testing may be useful for andor preferred by individuals from marginalized populations. As Kegeles and colleagues have found, many who seek anonymous HIV-antibody testing would avoid it under other circumstances, and anonymous testing may be preferred among those who suspect they are infected, and by bisexual individuals, and those who fear stigma and discrimination. Thus, a brief, anonymous HIV testing effort may appeal to and engage HHR who face barriers to confidential HIV testing.
