Abstract:
We conducted a survey of 154 inmates of the Rhode Island Department of Corrections jail regarding HIV risk, HIV testing experiences, and attitudes toward rapid HIV testing in the correctional setting. HIV risk behavior was common during the 6 months before incarceration. Ninety-four percent of inmates were previously tested for HIV; of those, 50% reported at least 1 test for which they did not receive a result. Eighty-eight percent stated they would prefer rapid testing to standard HIV antibody testing in the correctional setting. Rapid HIV testing is acceptable to this high-risk prison population and may improve the delivery of HIV test results. Further research is needed to determine how to best incorporate rapid HIV testing into the delivery of health care in the correctional setting.

Testing a Claim about Population Proportion
There are two methods of testing a claim about a population proportion: (1) Using the sample proportion from the data where a binomial distribution is approximated to the normal distribution and (2) Using the binomial probabilities calculated from the data.
The first method uses normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution. The requirements are as follows: sample size is large...
