For sample persons age 18 and older who ever knew anyone personally who had AIDS or the AIDS virus, AIDKNOPREL reports if the person she/he knew personally was a relative.

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.
