Dear User,
The variables MV312 and MV313 were constructed from raw variables QM418 "The last time you had sexual intercourse, was a condom used?" and QM439 "What method did you or your partner use?" from the male questionnaire.
Below are the weighted frequencies for the recoded variables MV312 and MV313. I am not sure why you are seeing missing values.
