Description

For sample adults aged 18 and over, CAREAIDT reports whether the person received services or care at an AIDS counseling and testing clinic in the past 12 months.

CAREAIDT was first introduced in 1988 as part of a series of variables asking about AIDS knowledge and attitudes. For related variables, please use the IPUMS NHIS search function and drop-down menus.
