Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) criminalization laws may discourage engagement in care. American Men's Internet Survey participants were randomized to disclosure, in which automatic public health reporting of antiretroviral resistance testing (ARVRT) was explained upfront, or non-disclosure, in which it was revealed later. Among 4,750 participants, 64.4% were unsure whether their state had an HIV criminalization law. ARVRT willingness was greater with non-disclosure (OR = 1.96, 95% CI: 1.41-2.71) and most pronounced among those believing no law existed (OR = 4.00, 95% CI: 1.10-14.54), with an interaction between legal perception and disclosure condition (χ² (2) = 7.14, p = 0.028).
