Hello,
I am running a regression where the output is HIV prevalence in a certain region of Senegal. I am using the women's data set from the 2010-2011 Standard DHS.
I would like to include the effect of other STIs (e.g. HSV) in my regression to determine their effect on HIV prevalence. Since I have not seen any variables for specific STIs, I had hoped to use the variable from the women's data set (763A, I believe) that asks whether the respondent has had an STI in the last 12 months. However, it is unclear whether this question includes HIV and it clearly doesn't make sense to use in my analysis if it does.
Does this variable include HIV? If not, is there a variable that does not include HIV or is there another way that you know of going about this? Thanks in advance for your help.
Emma
