<p><u><strong>Short Name</strong></u><br>
HIV prevalence, females<br></p>
<p><u><strong>Full Name</strong></u><br>
Percentage HIV positive among adult women who were tested<br></p>
<p><u><strong>Domain</strong></u><br>
Sexual and reproductive health<br></p>
<p><u><strong>Sub-domain</strong></u><br>
HIV/AIDS and STIs<br></p>
<p><u><strong>Definition</strong></u><br>
Among the de facto women age 15-49 who were interviewed and tested, percentage HIV positive.<br></p>
<p><u><strong>Method of Calculation</strong></u><br>
<br><em>Data source specific method of calculation:</em><br>
<br><strong>DHS:</strong><br> <br><em>Numerator:</em><br> For surveys without testing to distinguish between HIV-1 and HIV-2:
1. Number of de facto women aged 15 to 49 years who are HIV positive
For surveys with testing to distinguish between HIV-1 and HIV-2:
2. Number of de facto women aged 15 to 49 years who are HIV-1 positive
3. Number of de facto women aged 15 to 49 years who are HIV-2 positive
4. Number of de facto women aged 15 to 49 years who are HIV-1 or HIV-2 positive
<br><em>Denominator:</em><br> Number of de facto women aged 15 to 49 years interviewed and tested. This is the number of women who completed an individual interview, whose blood specimen completed the HIV testing algorithm for the survey with a final HIV test result, i.e., positive, negative, indeterminate, or inconclusive.
<br><em>Calculation:</em><br> The HIV test results data should first be merged to the women’s dataset by cluster number, household number and line number. This file also contains a sample weight variable with a separate non-response adjustment for participation in the survey HIV test. Cases are weighted by the HIV sample weight, not the women’s sample weights. Numerator divided by the denominator, multiplied by 100.<br></p>

<p><u><strong>Comments</strong></u><br>
The HIV prevalence reflects current HIV infection on the day the blood sample was taken. In surveys
which include both centralized laboratory testing for HIV and rapid testing for HIV in the household, the survey prevalence is based on the results of the laboratory testing only.
For surveys with testing to distinguish between HIV-1 and HIV-2, only those tested and found positive for HIV-1 (including those found positive for HIV-1 only, as well as those found positive for both HIV-1 and HIV-2, numerator 2) are included in tabulations except in DHS-7 table 14.3.<br></p> |
