The following questions aim to obtain information about the level of 'unmet need' for HIV-testing. They first ask about experience of HIV testing. Voluntary testing and counseling are now encouraged, in the belief that if a person knows his or her status, he or she is more likely to adopt Behaviour 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 counseling 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 counseling and the level of demand for such services.
