Thanks a lot for the immediate response. It was really eye-opening on several levels.
Just to make my understanding clearer, a few statements.

So you are saying that after restricting for ages 15-49 years in both NFHS 2 and NFHS 3, prevalence calculated from the household member file (with weight hv005) and individual men/women file (with weight mv005/v005) are essentially representative of the population at large and therefore comparable to each other, keeping aside the fact that in one was proxy-information and the other was self-information.

Am I right?

Thanks in advance.
A truly great forum this is.
