371) ASK CONSENT FOR GSS (DBS) COLLECTION FROM PARENT/OTHER ADULT IDENTIFIED IN 364 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 see how big the AIDS problem is in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
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 the results of (name of adolescent's) test either.
Location covered by fixed Voluntary Testing Center: If (NAME OF ADOLESCENT) wants to know his HIV status, I can provide a list of [nearby] facilities offering counseling and testing for HIV. I will also give him a voucher for free services that can be used at any of these facilities.
Location not covered by fixed Voluntary Testing Center: In the next few days, the Ministry of Health will send a mobile team to offer HIV testing and counseling services. If (NAME OF ADOLESCENT) wants to know his HIV status, I will also give him a voucher for free services that can be used for this mobile team.
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 allow (NAME OF ADOLESCENT) to take the HIV test?
