Questions and instructions
Literal question
MINOR RESPONDENT CONSENT FOR DBS COLLECTION.
323. ASK CONSENT FOR DBS COLLECTION FROM MINOR RESPONDENT.
As part of the survey we also are asking people all over the country to give blood for HIV testing. HIV is the virus that can lead to AIDS. The HIV testing is being done to see how many people have HIV.
For the HIV testing, we need a few (more) drops of blood from a finger. The equipment used to take the blood is clean and completely safe. IT has never been used before and will be thrown away after we take your blood. No names will be attached so we will not be able to tell you the test results. No one else will be able to know your test results either. If you want to know whether you have HIV, I can provide you with a list of (nearby facilities offering counseling and testing for HIV). I will also give you a voucher for free services for you (and for your partner if you want) that you can use at any of these facilities.
Do you have any questions?
You can say yes or no. It is up to you to decide.
Will you give blood for the HIV testing?
