Perception of being at risk was the number one reason for testing behaviors. For first-time testers, structural barriers (e.g., language barriers with health professionals) and fear of disclosure (e.g., sexual orientation not known to parents) were deterrents for nontesting in the past. Among previously known HIV-positive men, 22% were not seeing a doctor and 19% were not taking any HIV medications.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions.<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>HIV testing, care, and treatment policies would be less than optimal without addressing barriers to testing, including stigma related to sexual orientation, among A\/PI MSM.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/003335491212700207","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,7,4]],"date-time":"2017-07-04T00:40:59Z","timestamp":1499128859000},"page":"186-194","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["HIV Testing and Management: Findings from a National Sample of Asian\/Pacific Islander Men Who Have Sex with Men"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"127","author":[{"given":"Frank Y.","family":"Wong","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Emory University, Rollins School of Public Health, Department of Behavioral Sciences and Health Education, Atlanta, GA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eric J.","family":"Nehl","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Emory University, Rollins School of Public Health, Department of Behavioral Sciences and Health Education, Atlanta, GA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jennifer J.","family":"Han","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Emory University, Rollins School of Public Health, Department of Behavioral Sciences and Health Education, Atlanta, GA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Z.
