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

There are very few variables in the AR files. As a general rule, hivclust is equivalent to hv001; hivnumb is equivalent to hv002; hivline is equivalent to hvidx (all of these are ID codes in the PR file). The weight is hiv05, which is analogous to hv005 but should be used in place of hv005 (or v005 or mv005) if you do a merge. The result code is hiv03, for which the value labels are self-explanatory and may differ slightly from one survey to another. Other variables, such as hiv01 and hiv02, are almost never used, except for the kinds of analysis done in the recent Methodological Report 22 (https://www.dhsprogram.com/pubs/pdf/MR22/MR22.pdf).
