Following is a response from Senior Data Processing Specialist, Ladys Ortiz:

In order for you to reproduce the numbers from the DHS report, you need to apply the HIV weights. The HIV weight variable is HIV05 and should be divided by 1 million before using it. There are 4,984 women unweighted and 4740 women weighted. See example below:

COMPUTE WT = HIV05 / 1000000.
WEIGHT BY WT.
FREQUENCIES HIV03.
