Let’s Review Informed Consent
Just to review, here’s what you need to do with your client before you collect the sample. We call this the Informed Consent part of the session:
- Establish rapport.
- Explain what will happen during the session and when the client will receive test results. For rapid tests, make sure the client knows that a preliminary positive result requires a confirmatory test.
- Explain any choices the client has: rapid vs. conventional, anonymous vs. confidential, oral sample vs. blood sample. Where there is only one of these options, explain the option.
- Check for questions and concerns.
- Have client give informed consent to the test (a spoken consent for anonymous testing, a signed consent for confidential).
That’s it! You have completed the first part of the HIV test session. In Module 3, we’ll talk about what happens when the client returns from the lab.
