The aim of the pilot study is to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability and costs of a financial incentive intervention to motivate pediatric HIV testing in Western Kenya. The study will evaluate 3 cash incentive values and determine percent uptake of testing. A post-test questionnaire will explore parental satisfaction, mechanisms of incentive effectiveness and the impact of testing on emotional health and pediatric healthcare utilization.
