Questions and instructions
Literal question
230) 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 Lesotho.
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 whether you have HIV, I can provide you with a list of [nearby] facilities offering counseling and testing for HIV.
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 take the HIV test?

Description
Definition
HIVCONSENT (V473A) indicates whether permission was granted for the person's blood to be drawn and tested for HIV antibodies or, if not, why not. Interviewers read a statement about HIV testing and requested permission to draw and test the individual's blood; blood was drawn only if consent was given by the persons themselves (if adults) or by a parent or guardian (if a minor).
