Dear all,

I did not find any information about the variables ha69 and hb69 which are named and labeled "HIV weight (6 decimals)" for women and men respectively.

Could you tell me where I can find information about this variable? How do I interpret it? Is there a threshold value after which I can assume that the tested person has contracted HIV?

And do I need to apply some calculation to this variable (e.g. /1000) first?

Many thanks and all the best
Timo
