Following is a response from Senior DHS Stata Specialist, Tom Pullum:

Please look at earlier postings on this subject. You should always use the weights. In your case, use "svyset", including "[pweight=v005]", and then "svy: logit...." If you do not include the weights, then your estimates will be biased toward the strata that were over-sampled and away from the strata that were under-sampled.
