Interviewer instructions

This question is only asked to women who received antenatal care for their last pregnancy in the last two years. This question asks specifically whether HIV testing was offered. In many societies there is a level of stigma around mothers who are HIVpositive, so it is important to read the question as written and stress the confidentiality of responses. Preface the question by saying, "I do not want to know the results of the test".

If No: Go to Q6410
