Interviewer instructions
The following questions HA2-HA8 ask the respondent about specific ways to avoid HIV transmission. They focus on programmatically important ways to avoid HIV - by limiting the number of partners and by using condoms. They also probe into misconceptions concerning HIV transmission, through mosquito bites or sharing food, for example. Survey Coordinators: Questions HA5 and HA6 ask about local misconceptions and may be replaced by the most common misconceptions in your country. Some examples of other misconceptions: “Can a person get AIDS by hugging or shaking hands with a person who is infected?” and “Can a person get AIDS through supernatural means?” For questions HA2-HA7 circle the code for the response given. If the respondent cannot provide a 'Yes' or 'No' answer, circle '8' for 'DK'. Do not prompt the respondent or indicate the 'correct' answer in any way.
