Comparability - Standard DHS

AIDABSTLOWR (V754B) is included in Phases III and IV of the standard DHS questionnaire as a standard response category to "Is there anything a person can do to avoid getting AIDS or the virus that causes AIDS? What can a person do? Anything else?"

In Phase V, the standard DHS questionnaire instead asks a series of close-ended questions, including, "Can people reduce their chance of getting the AIDS virus by not having sexual intercourse at all?" (AIDABSTLOWRYN (V754BP))
