As you may know, HIV is the virus that causes AIDS, and AIDS is a serious illness that often leads to death. We are conducting test to measure the extent of the disease in Cameroon. The results from the survey will assist the government in developing programs for preventing HIV and AIDS.
We request that you participate in the HIV testing part of this survey by permitting us to use a few drops of blood from your finger. Only disposable, sterile instruments that are clean and completely safe will be used.
The blood sample will be sent directly to a laboratory to be analyzed. To ensure confidentiality, your name will not be attached to the blood sample. The results will be completely anonymous and for this reason we cannot provide you with results of the test. However, we will give you a coupon for a free test at a Voluntary Counseling and Testing center in case you want to know your HIV status.
Do you have any questions about this?
Now I would like you to please tell me if you agree to participate in the HIV test?
