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

Inserted below are the lines to do this. You will have to change the paths.

use c:\DHS\DHS_data\AR_files\SZar51fl.dta, clear
ren hivclust v001
ren hivnumb v002
ren hivline v003

sort v001 v002 v003

save c:\DHS\DHS_data\scratch\temp.dta, replace

use c:\DHS\DHS_data\IR_files\SZIR51fl.dta, clear
sort v001 v002 v003
merge v001 v002 v003 using c:\DHS\DHS_data\scratch\temp.dta
tab _merge

keep if _merge==3

* hiv03 is the result of the test
* all analysis of the hiv data should use hiv05 for weights, not v005
