Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Development of an HIV Self-testing Intervention
STUDY INFORMATION OFFICIAL TITLE: Development of an HIV Self-testing Intervention to Reduce HIV Risks Among MSM: Taking the Guess Out of Seroguessing CURRENT STATUS: Active,
Article Description
: HIV transmission is common within men who have sex with men (MSM) couples; despite recommendations that MSM who engage in risky sexual behaviors get tested biannually/annually, little is known about the testing patterns of MSM while in a current primary relationship. This study compared demographic and relationship characteristics of groups of MSM with different testing patterns while in their primary relationships and assessed which factors were associated with regular or irregular testing. Two hundred seventy-five HIV-negative male couples/550 MSM were recruited online to complete a survey in 2011. Since the start of their relationship, 21% of MSM tested for HIV every 3, 4, or 6 months; 29% tested once a year; 30% tested only when they felt at risk for HIV; and 20% never tested for HIV. Bivariate analyses indicated that men who had never been tested while in their relationship were younger, less educated, had greater trust in their partner, and were less likely to be in a couple that had 1 or both men having had sex with someone else. In the multivariate analyses, testing at regular intervals was associated with higher education, having a sexual agreement, being in a couple that had 1 or both men having had sex with someone else, and having lower faith in trust toward the main partner. Findings suggest that many MSM's testing behaviors while in their primary relationship do not align with their risk profile. Trust seems to be a barrier to regular HIV testing, which may be addressed by encouraging MSM to negotiate clear sexual agreements with their primary partner.
