Description

For sample persons aged 18 and older who ever knew anyone personally who had AIDS or the AIDS virus, AIDKNOPELS reports if the person that she/he knew personally was someone other than a friend, relative or coworker.

This variable is part of the NHIS supplement on AIDS knowledge and attitudes. For related variables, please use the IPUMS NHIS search function and drop-down menus.

Comparability

Changes in survey design (e.g., quarters in which the supplement was collected) may affect raw frequencies, but do not affect comparability of the variable. As always, data users should use the prescribed IHIS weights.
