Hello, we are analyzing behavioral characteristics among HIV positives in several countries separately. We have merged the IR (women), MR (men), and the HIV dataset into a single dataset for each country.
Is it correct to analyze men and women combined while applying the HIV weight, as in the below example?

gen float hiv_weight = hiv05 / 1000000
tab x1 x2 [iw=hiv_weight]
egen strata = group(v024 v025) // Note: this depends on the country
svyset [pweight=hiv_weight], psu(v021) strata(strata)
svy: logistic y x1 x2 // Note: adjusting for sex
