The results are confidential.
May I request now that you (and FIRST AND LAST NAME OF CHILDREN) take this anemia test? However, if you decide to refuse, know that you have this right and that we respect your decision. Now, can you tell me if you accept to take this test?

INFORMED AND VOLUNTARY CONSENT FOR ADULTS 18 YEARS OR MORE:
As part of this survey, we are doing a study of HIV/AIDS among women aged 15-49 years and men aged 15-59 years. You may know that HIV is the virus that causes AIDS. AIDS is a serious illness, usually mortal. We are currently giving HIV tests to see how serious a problem AIDS is in Senegal.
For the HIV test we ask all the eligible women and men to give a couple drops of blood from a finger. To take this blood we use sterile instruments, new material which is not reusable. It has never been used before and will be thrown away after the test.
The blood will then be sent to a lab to be analyzed. No name will be linked to the result. Thus, we will not be able to tell you your test results. No one else will know that result of the blood test either. However, I will give a reference paper to go to a Centre de Dépistage Volontaire (voluntary testing center) to have a free test if you wish.
Do you have any questions?
Now, do you agree to take this HIV test?

The study of HIV/AIDS included young women and men 15 years or older. For the HIV test of these young persons from 15-17 years, we ask that their parent or responsible adult give their consent, as well as the youth.
We ask that the youth, (NAME), take an HIV test by giving us a few drops of blood from a finger. To take this blood we use sterile instruments, new material which is not reusable. It has never been used before and will be thrown away after the test.
The blood will then be sent to a lab to be analyzed. No name will be linked to the result. Thus, we will not be able to tell you your test results. No one else will know that result of the blood test either. However, if (NAME OF YOUTH) wishes, I will give a reference paper to go to a Centre de Dépistage Volontaire (voluntary testing center) to have a free test.
Now, do you accept that (NAME) take this HIV test?
PROCEED TO COLUMN (66), CIRCLE THE APPROPRIATE CODE AND HAVE IT SIGNED BY THE PERSON RESPONSIBLE OR THE LEGAL REPRESENTATIVE.
