INFORMED CONSENT STATEMENT (HIV Test):

INFORMED CONSENT FOR ADULT 18 YEARS OR MORE
As part of this survey, we are doing a study of HIV/AIDS among women aged 15-49 years and men aged 15-59 years. You may know that HIV is the virus that causes AIDS. AIDS is a serious illness, usually mortal. We are currently giving HIV tests to see how serious a problem AIDS is in Mali.

For the HIV test, we ask all the eligible women and men to give a couple drops of blood from a finger. To take this blood we use sterile instruments, new material which is not reusable. It has never been used before and will be thrown away after the test.

The blood will then be sent to a lab to be analyzed. No name will be linked to the result. Thus, we will not be able to tell you your test results. No one else will know that result of the blood test either. However, I will give a reference paper to go to a Centre de D?pistage Volontaire (voluntary testing center) to have a free test if you wish.

Do you have any questions? Now, do you agree to take this HIV test?

Description

Definition
HIVBLOODTEST (V473B) indicates whether the person's blood was drawn and tested for HIV antibodies or, if not, why the person's blood was not tested. All "no" responses have a common first digit of "2," while the second digit reveals the reason (e.g., consent refused, blood sample insufficient or damaged).
