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, ask this question circle the code for the response given, then thank the woman. Check whether she is the mother or primary caretaker of any children that live with them and are under the age of 5 years by checking the Household Questionnaire, column HL8, for the woman's line number. If so, start interviewing her with the Questionnaire for Children under Five for those children.
If this woman is not the mother or primary caretaker of any children under 5 in the household, check if there is another eligible woman residing in the same household. If so, go on to administer the Questionnaire for Individual Women to the next eligible woman. Continue until you have completed questionnaires for all eligible women and children in the household.
