I would like to find out if its possible to merge multiple DHS datasets. I am using Zambia DHS datasets for 2001/01, 2007 and 2013/14. I would like to like to merge Women Questionnaire and Male Questionnaire and then link them to HIV Test Results. How do i go about it in STATA?

Dear Mumbi,
One very easy way to do this is to use IPUMS-DHS. There, you can download a single file with all years appended and just the variables that interest you.
You can use your DHS email and password to download the data at IPUMS-DHS. Click on Help at the top of the home page or post a note here if you need more information.
Good luck!
