Description

For sample persons ages 18 and over who have ever had a blood test for the AIDS virus infection except for those who reported that their blood test was at a doctor/HMO, hospital/emergency room/outpatient clinic, military induction, immigration site, or at home health visit, ATCOUNBD reports if a health professional talked with the person about the transmission, prevention, or treatment of AIDS or about the meaning of the test at the time of their most recent test.

Comparability

There are no comparability issues with this variable. Changes in survey design (e.g. quarters or subsamples) affect raw frequencies but do not affect comparability between samples. As always, data users should apply prescribed IPUMS NHIS weights.
