I am looking at the HIV Prevalence among Couples from the SADHS 2016 survey.

In the HIV Prevalence among Couples of the SADHS report 2016, it says "among the women and men interviewed and tested for HIV in the SADHS 2016, there were 419 cohabitating couples."

I am not sure how to get 419 cohabitating couples. I merged the HIV information from "ZAAR71FL" (HIV survey) with "ZACR71DT" (couples' recode) using women's and men's ID separately (linked HIVCLUST HIVNUMB HIVLINE with V001 V002 V003 for women, linked HIVCLUST HIVNUMB HIVLINE with MV001 MV002 MV003 for men). There were 455 women and 380 men matched. I am not sure how the report get 419 cohabitating couples?

I checked that all couples were cohabitated in the "ZACR71DT" (couples' recode), am I right?

Or I missed some steps?

Thank you!
