Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether giving small financial incentives will motivate parents to test their children for HIV.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study will be a randomized controlled trial (RCT) with 5 arms with equal allocation to each arm: no incentive, or one of 4 different levels of financial incentive. We will randomize 800 parents with children of unknown status at HIV treatment clinics in Western Kenya.
