Description

For sample persons ages 18 and older who have had a blood test for the AIDS virus, ATGT1 reports if the respondent has had his or her blood tested for the AIDS virus more than once. Respondents who indicated that they had not heard of or had a blood test for the AIDS virus but had donated blood after 1985 were not included in this sample.

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.
