Abstract
There is a controversial debate in South Africa about the use of lotteries as an incentive for people to participate in HIV testing. Could lotteries be a real solution to increasing uptake of HIV testing and counselling, or is this a spurious way of motivating people without real benefits for the individual? Martin Weihs examines this question.-
