Similarly, in this study arm, the peer educator will travel to each eligible household, then randomly recruit eligible person, describes the H2H procedure, perform pretest counselling, perform rapid HIV testing through finger-prick of whole blood, interpret the result and provide post-test counselling. In order to prevent (fear of) contamination, a laboratory technician will be hired for each peer educator to take a blood sample and provide the sample to the peer educator. The peer educator will interpret the rapid diagnostic result and perform post-test counselling irrespective of the HIV status. The laboratory technician will have no other than the role of taking a sample of blood from the eligible person.
