Try the following code:
* A healthy-looking person can have the AIDS virus.
IF (V756 = 1) Healthy = 1.
VARIABLE LABELS Healthy "A healthy-looking person can have the AIDS virus".
VALUE LABELS Healthy 1 "A healthy-looking person can have the AIDS virus".

* The AIDS  virus cannot be transmitted by mosquito bites [COUNTRY SPECIFIC].
IF (V754JP = 0) Mosquito = 1.
VARIABLE LABELS Mosquito "The AIDS  virus cannot be transmitted by mosquito bites [COUNTRY SPECIFIC]".
VALUE LABELS Mosquito 1 "The AIDS  virus cannot be transmitted by mosquito bites [COUNTRY SPECIFIC]".

* The AIDS virus cannot be transmitted by supernatural means [COUNTRY SPECIFIC] .
IF (V823 = 0) SNmeans = 1.
VARIABLE LABELS SNmeans "The AIDS virus cannot be transmitted by supernatural means [COUNTRY SPECIFIC]".
VALUE LABELS SNmeans 1 "The AIDS virus cannot be transmitted by supernatural means [COUNTRY SPECIFIC]".

* A person cannot become infected by sharing food with a person who has the AIDS virus [COUNTRY SPECIFIC] .
IF (V754WP = 0) Sfood = 1.
VARIABLE LABELS SFood "A person cannot become infected by sharing food with a person who has the AIDS virus [COUNTRY SPECIFIC]".
VALUE LABELS SFood 1 "A person cannot become infected by sharing food with a person who has the AIDS virus [COUNTRY SPECIFIC]".

* The two most common local misconception.
* Need to pick the two most common misconceptions - typically mosquito bites and sharing food - but this can vary from survey to survey.
COUNT MSConcep = mosquito, Sfood (1).
*COUNT MSConcep = mosquito, SNMeans (1).

* A healthy-looking person can have the AIDS virus and who reject the two most common local misconceptions.
IF (Healthy = 1 & MSConcep = 2) MCReject = 1.
VARIABLE LABELS MCReject "".
VALUE LABELS MCReject 1 "Percentage who say that a healthy-looking person can have the AIDS virus and who reject the two most common local misconceptions".

* Percentage with a comprehensive knowledge about AIDS.
IF (V754CP = 1 & V754DP = 1 & Healthy = 1 & MSConcep = 2) knowAIDS = 1.
VARIABLE LABELS knowAIDS "".
VALUE LABELS knowAIDS 1 "Percentage with a comprehensive knowledge about AIDS".

Note that the selection for the two most common mis-conceptions in the middle of the code is survey specific, and will vary from country to country.
