Abstract

Objective: To identify adherence and to describe factors associated with realization HIV testing among carnival participants.
Method: A cross-sectional study with 557 participants. Data were collected using a questionnaire. A descriptive analysis was performed and the chi-square test was used, with a significance level of 95%.
Results: 66.2% have ever tested for HIV at any time in their lives, 54.2% have performed in the last 12 months and 83.8% have never taken the rapid test. There was a statistically significant association (p <0.05) in the test with the variables, gender, age group, relationship, sexual practice with the same sex, enrollment in Primary Care Units and knowledge about health services that performed the test free of charge.
Conclusion: Social, cultural, gender, and access to health care issues have been shown to be more effective in stimulating testing than exposure to risky sexual practices.
