Questions and instructions

Literal question

451) ASK CONSENT FOR DBS COLLECTION FROM PARENT/OTHER ADULT IDENTIFIED IN 343 AS RESPONSIBLE FOR NEVER IN UNION MEN AGE 15-17.

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 to determine the HIV prevalence in Namibia.

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 (NAME OF ADOLESCENT)'s test results either. If (NAME OF ADOLESCENT) wants to know her HIV status, I can provide a list of [nearby] facilities offering counseling and testing for HIV. I will also give her a voucher for free services that can be used at any of these facilities.

You can say yes to the test for (NAME OF ADOLESCENT), of you can say no. It is up to you to decide.

Do you have any questions? If you have any questions about the procedure at any time, please ask me. For more information, you may also contact the person(s) on the card that was given out at the beginning.

Will you allow (NAME OF ADOLESCENT) to take the HIV test?
