Of 1709 clients who ordered HIV tests, 508 (29.7%) were men who have sex with men (MSM), and 41.3% (210\/508) of these clients reported having never been tested for HIV before or were not tested in the prior year. Hispanic clients had lower STI test return rates (37.1%; 134\/361) compared with non-Hispanic clients (45.9%; 518\/1128) (P = .003). Positive STI tests were identified in 9.6% (68\/708) of clients. Positive STI tests were more common in MSM clients (15.7%; 34\/216) compared with all other sexual orientations (6.9%; 34\/492) (P &amp;lt; .001).
