Questions and instructions
Ever had HIV/AIDS test?
This question aims to obtain information about the level of “unmet need” for HIV-testing.
They first ask about experience of HIV testing. Voluntary testing and counselling are now
encouraged, in the belief that if a person knows his or her status, he or she is more likely to
adopt behaviours to prevent contracting the virus or (if positive) transmitting it. Many of
those who get tested do not return to learn the result of the test, but the proportion of those
who return should rise as the quality of pre-test counselling improves. It is important to
obtain an estimate of the number of those tested who return to learn the result, in order to
monitor this proxy indicator of the quality of available counselling and the level of demand
for such services.
Check the respondent's answer to MN5 in the Maternal and Newborn Health module
regarding whether or not she was tested for HIV during her antenatal care visits. If the
respondent has already answered that she was tested during antenatal care visits, you do
not need to ask her this question.
Ask the respondent if she was tested for the HIV. Be clear to the respondent that you are
not asking to know the result of the test. Circle the code for the response given. If her
answer is 'No', skip to HA17.
