AIDTBRESULT reports the results of the woman's most recent HIV test at a health facility before the birth of her last child.

Apart from universe differences and slight differences in question wording, AIDTBRESULT has no comparability problems.

Comparability - Standard DHS

AIDTBRESULT is a country-specific variable, and it is not included in any phase of the standard DHS questionnaire.

Cameroon 2018: Women age 15-49 who have heard of HIV/AIDS, who delivered their most recent birth in a health facillity, and who received an HIV test before their child was born in the 2 years before the interview, and received the results of that test.
Namibia 2013: Women age 15-49 who have heard of HIV/AIDS, who delivered their most recent birth in a health facility, and who did not test positive for HIV as part of antenatal care but did receive an HIV test before their child was born in the 2 years before the interview, and received the results of that test and were willing to share them.
