Hello,

I am trying to merge the household level Standard DHS data set with the HIV biomarker data set for several countries. I realize that the HIV barcode is the unique identifier that links the data, but it seems that its not unique in household level Standard DHS data. When I perform the merge, I have twice the cases of HIV in the Standard Household dataset as the original HIV data set. I am not sure how to perform this merge in STATA without this issue. Please kindly provide some guidance.

Warm regards,
Ramya
