Resumo em Inglês
Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the reliability
of self-reported HIV among men who have sex with men (MSM) in
Brazil.
Methods: MSM 18 years of age or older were recruited to
a multicenter study using respondent-driven sampling. We compared
self-report of the HIV test with a rapid HIV test using the kappa
coefficient.
Results: A total of 3859 MSM were recruited, and 39% reported
ever having an HIV test; their results were reported and they agreed to
a new test. Agreement between self-report and the test was very good
(kappa = 0.88).
Conclusion: Our results suggest that self-report of HIV infection is
a reliable indicator among MSM.
