Following is a response from Senior DHS Specialist, Noureddine Abderrahim:

Hepatitis C questionnaire was administered to a subsample of the Egypt 2008 survey. All eligible men and women age 15-59 were included in this subsample. A man's survey was not conducted in Egypt 2008 only ever-married women 15-49 were interviewed. Linking the individual data will reduce the sample of person's to only these ever-married women. But, you are still able to link ever-married women to their corresponding information in the health questionnaire using V001 (Cluster number), V002 (Household number), and V003 (Woman's line number) and their corresponding variables HPSU, HNUMBER, and WLINE.

However, statistically I don't think that using either weights, the subsample weights or the ever-married sample, would be correct since we're excluding from both samples a number of respondents.
