AIDPREPKNOW
(V859)Codes and Frequencies
Description
AIDPREPKNOW (V859) indicates whether the woman has heard about PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis), a medication taken daily that can prevent someone from contracting HIV, and if they have heard of it, whether they approve of its daily use.
Comparability
Apart from universe differences, AIDPREPKNOW (V859) has no comparability issues.
To distinguish between approval of use among individuals who have heard about PrEP, IPUMS-DHS uses composite coding, with all affirmative responses sharing a first digit of â1,â and with the second digit distinguishes between âYes, heard of but donât approve of useâ (code 11), âYes, heard of and approve of useâ (code 12), and âYes, heard of but donât know about approving useâ (code 13).
Comparability - Standard DHS
AIDPREPKNOW (V859) is first included in the standard DHS questionnaire in Phase VIII.
