Sure. Thanks very much.
We do have some data from studies in Vancouver about HIV testing among gbMSM and their reasons for not going for testing. The most recent data we have was collected between 2012 and 2014. In there I think something like 90% of gbMSM living in Greater Vancouver had ever been tested, and 70% of those men had been tested in the last two years. When you ask guys who had not been tested recently why they didn't get tested, the main reason was that they intended to but hadn't got around to it, so it maybe relates to the question of convenience or access or having a gay-friendly doctor to do the testing. The other main reason was that they felt they were at low risk for acquiring HIV. In fact, in looking at that, we did actually find some validity to that, that the guys who didn't get tested who said they were at low risk, were in fact appropriately assessing their risk of acquiring HIV.
We didn't ask specifically about criminalization, but we asked about reportability or having your name reported to public health. That was discussed by some men as a reason for not getting tested, but it was quite a small proportion and quite a way down on the list of reasons for not getting tested.
