Questions and instructions

Literal question
212) 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. The HIV testing is being done to see how many people have HIV.

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 your test results either. If you want to know if you have 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 for you (and for your partner if you want) 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 give blood for the HIV testing?
