If the respondent has been tested for HIV, we want to know whose idea it was to get the test. There are three options, so read the entire question before expecting an answer. Perhaps the respondent asked to be tested for HIV. Perhaps a health worker offered to test the respondent and the respondent accepted being tested. Perhaps the test was required for some reason.
Circle the code corresponding to the response. If the respondent got tested because her partner asked her to do so, you would circle '1', corresponding to 'Asked for the test', because she got the test of her own volition, in response to someone asking her to do so. This would be the case if a girlfriend or boyfriend or spouse or other concerned person personally asked them to get tested. If the respondent was offered the test during a normal health centre visit, for instance, and the respondent accepted the test, this would be coded as '2', 'Offered and accepted'. By 'required', we mean formally required. For example, an employer may require their employees to get tested for the AIDS virus. If so, you would circle '3' for 'Required'. Also, some countries require applicants applying for work permits or applicants applying for visas to show proof of an AIDS test.
