Literal question
115) Ask consent for DBS collection from parent/other adult
As part of the survey we also are asking people all over the country to take an HIV test. HIV is the virus that causes AIDS. AIDS is a very serious illness. The HIV test is being done in this survey to understand how many people have contracted the virus.
For the HIV test, 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 each test. 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 the results of (name of child's) test either. If you want to know if (name of child) has HIV, I can provide a list of [nearby] facilities offering counseling and testing for HIV. I will also give you a voucher for free services that can be used at any of these facilities.
Do you have any questions?
You can say yes to the test, or you can say no. It is up to you to decide.
Will you allow (NAME OF CHILD) to take the HIV test?
