Following is a response from DHS Research & Data Analysis Director, Tom Pullum:

The Stata code to do this is given below. It shows the logic; you will have to convert to R. "_merge==3" identifies the cases that are in both files. Remember that when you use data in the AR file, you should apply the HIV weight, hiv05.

use "C:\Users\26216\ICF\Analysis - Shared Resources\Data\DHSdata\HTAR71FL.DTA", clear
rename hivclust v001
rename hivnumb v002
rename hivline v003
sort v001 v002 v003
save e:\DHS\DHS_data\scratch\HTARtemp.dta, replace

use "C:\Users\26216\ICF\Analysis - Shared Resources\Data\DHSdata\HTIR71FL.DTA", clear
sort v001 v002 v003
merge v001 v002 v003 using e:\DHS\DHS_data\scratch\HTARtemp.dta
tab _merge
keep if _merge==3
