Abstract Objective To investigate the factors affecting HIV testing among male college students with sexual behaviors, so as to provide the evidence for improving the detection of HIV testing among young college students. Methods Four undergraduate universities and one junior college were randomly sampled from Hangzhou City using a purposive sampling method during the period between September and November, 2021, and male students with self-reported sexual behaviors were recruited as study students. Participants' demographics, AIDS-related knowledge, sexual behaviors and HIV testing were collected using questionnaires, and factors affecting HIV testing using a multivariable logistic regression model. Results A total of 720 male college students with sexual behaviors were enrolled, including 180 freshmen (25.00%), 178 sophomores (24.72%), 163 juniors (22.64%), 50 seniors (6.94%) and 149 postgraduates (20.69%), and 94 students received HIV testing (13.06%), including 57.45% receiving self-testing. Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified postgraduates (OR=0.302, 95%CI: 0.127-0.719), sexual orientation (homosexual, OR=0.090, 95%CI: 0.028-0.294; bisexual/uncertain, OR=0.181, 95%CI: 0.066-0.495), awareness of HIV testing (low awareness, OR=0.411, 95%CI: 0.176-0.957; moderate awareness, OR=0.305, 95%CI: 0.123-0.757; high awareness, OR=0.087, 95%CI: 0.032-0.235) as factors affecting HIV testing among male college students with sexual behaviors. Conclusions The prevalence of HIV testing correlates with awareness of HIV testing among male college students with sexual behaviors. Improvements in health education of HIV testing and accessibility of HIV testing services are recommended.
