Abstract
⺠Consent and refusal to HIV surveillance take place in the context of everyday social relations and local exchange economies. ⺠Local notions of gift and relatedness and rights and obligations frame exchanges of blood for knowledge in HIV surveillance. ⺠Participants struggled to differentiate HIV surveillance from testing, thereby blurring concepts of risk and benefit. ⺠Surveillance programs should engage with local constructions of risk, benefit and relatedness in research design.
