Interviewer instructions
The following questions aim to obtain information about the level of 'unmet need' for HIV-testing and will be asked to women with a live birth in last 2 years and received antenatal care. They first ask about AIDS counselling and 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 results 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 results, in order to monitor this proxy indicator of the quality of available counselling and the level of demand for such services. Sometimes people are tested for the AIDS virus but are not told whether or not they have the virus, or do not go to get the results. Be clear to the respondent that you are not asking to know the results of the test, simply whether or not she knows the results of the test. Circle the code corresponding to the response. If the answer is 'No' or 'DK', skip to HA22.
