Literal question
264. ASK CONSENT FOR DBS COLLECTION FROM RESPONDENT.
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 see how big the AIDS problem is in Zambia.
For the HIV test, we need a few drops of blood from a finger. The blood will be collected on a paper card. 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 results. No one else will be able to know your test results either. I will provide you with 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 give blood on a paper card for the HIV test?
