Interviewer instructions
An understanding of more in-depth AIDS-related knowledge is obtained with this question, which aims to determine whether the man knows that a mother who has AIDS can pass on the disease to her baby.
Ask each item one at a time and circle the code for the response given. The items ask whether the respondent thinks that a mother with AIDS can transfer the disease to her baby 'During pregnancy', 'During delivery' or 'By breastfeeding' him/her. Circle '1' for 'Yes' and '2' for 'No' for each of the items. If the man does not know the answer or is unsure, circle '8'.
The following four questions are meant to ascertain the respondent's personal opinion and accepting attitude towards people with HIV/AIDS. We present a situation to the respondent, asking him to imagine a particular scenario. Then we ask him to tell us how he would react to the situation.
Circle the code for the response given. Once again, do not prompt the respondent or indicate the 'correct' answer in any way. If a respondent says he doesn't know, is unsure, or that it depends, circle '8' for 'DK/not sure/depends'.
