The proportion reporting an HIV test was higher for the group that reported a STI or HCV infection than the group that did not. CONCLUSION Self-reported HIV testing remains low in the United States, even among those who reported a previous selected STI or HCV infection. Ensuring HIV tests are conducted routinely for those with overlapping risk factors can help facilitate diagnosis of HIV infections.BACKGROUND High-risk sexual behaviors (HRSB) are associated with sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The CDC and USPSTF recommend routine testing for patients with HRSB. Providers can classify patients with HRSB based on the sex of their sex partners using the International Classification of Disease Tenth Revision (ICD-10). We analyzed STI/HIV testing frequencies among patients with HRSB. METHODS This study used a large U.S. administrative outpatient medical claims dataset from 2015-2017. Patients aged 15-64 years were identified with HRSB using ICD-10 codes. An initial HRSB diagnosis in 2016 served as the index date. We assessed chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, and HIV testing by HRSB at the index date, and four-time intervals of 1 to 6, and 7 to 12 months before and after the index date. RESULTS We identified 52,160 patients with HRSB 90.3% were patients with opposite-sex partners, 7.7% patients with same-sex partners, and 2.1% patients with same-and-opposite-sex partners. 77.5% and 82.1% of patients were insured 6 months before and after the index respectively. On the index date, patients with opposite-sex partners tested most for chlamydia (65.3%) and gonorrhea (65.2%), patients with same-sex partners tested most for syphilis (51.5%) and HIV (57.8%). Among insured patients, follow-up STI/HIV testing was 89.5% during 1 to 6 months and 33.1% during 7 to 12 months after the index date. P
