Description
ATFRND indicates whether the woman reported, in response to an open-ended question, a friend or relative as a source for testing for the AIDS virus.
This answer may mean that the woman gained information about where and how to be tested from a friend or relative, rather than having a friend or relative actually conduct the test.

Comparability
Apart from universe differences and slight variations in response category wording, ATFRND is comparable across samples. Most commonly, this response was organized under the "other source" header and was worded as "friend/relative." Samples that diverge from this standard are noted below.
Most commonly, this variable included women who have heard of HIV/AIDS and have never been tested for HIV/AIDS. Other samples diverge from this standard, and in these cases, researchers may wish to exclude women who have not heard of HIV/AIDS (using AIDSHEARD) and who have been tested for HIV/AIDS (using AIDTESTEV).
Comparability - Standard DHS
An open-ended question about where one can get tested for the AIDS virus is included in Phase V forward of the standard DHS questionnaire. Responses are country-specific.
Comparability — Tanzania [top]
In the 1996 Tanzania survey, this response category is organized under the "other source" header but is worded as "friends/relatives/neighbors."
