Hi Liz,
one more question,
I need to merge the HHmember recode (where ha0, hb and hcs are ) with HIV separate data set. I followed the following commands.
first I renamed the identifiers :
rename hivclust hv001
rename hivnumb hv002
rename hivline hv003
sort hv001 hv002 hv003
I oppened the master file(HH member) and use the command
merge m:1 hv001 hv002 hv003 using HIV data set.
I obtained this table
Result # of obs.
-----------------------------------------
not matched 36,306
from master 18,674 (_merge==1)
from using 17,632 (_merge==2)

matched 59,070 (_merge==3)
-----------------------------------------
which shows that 36,306 osbervations are not matched.I highly doubted if I have used the propoer merging, and worried why this is so. My unit of analysis is individula(women, men and children)
would you please extend your usual supports quickly
Regards
Kal
