Following is a response from Senior Data Processing Specialist, Noureddine Abderrahim:

When you combine men and women(matching couples), and need to get the HIV prevalence, you need to use the man's weight: MV005 divided by 1000000.

If you concatenated men and women without matching them, you should use the HIV weight: HIV05 divided by 1000000, to get the HIV prevalence.
