What does this article tell us about HIV testing in the U.S.? HIV testing rates have remained fairly stable from 2001 through 2006. Ten percent of adults age 18-64 report getting tested each year (approximately 18 million people in 2006) but the percentage of people who report ever being tested in their lifetimes has not increased—it remained stable from 2001 to 2006 at about 40% (an estimated 71.5 million people in 2006).
