1) Percentage of women and men age 15-49 who know where to get an HIV test. (legacy indicator)
2) Percent distribution of women and men age 15-49 by prior HIV testing status and whether they received the result of their last test.
3) Percentage of women and men age 15-49 ever tested for HIV.
4) Percentage of women and men age 15-49 who have been tested for HIV in the past 12 months and received the results of the last test.
Coverage:
Population base: Women and men age 15-49
Time period: Lifetime of the respondent. 12 months preceding the survey
Numerators:
1) Number of women (or men) who know where to get an HIV test (women: v781 = 1 or v783 = 1; men: mv781 = 1 or mv783 = 1)
2) Percent distribution includes three mutually exclusive, exhaustive categories:
a) Number of women (or men) who have ever been tested for HIV and received the result of their most recent HIV test (women: v781 = 1 & v828 = 1; men: mv781 = 1 & mv828 = 1)
b) Number of women (or men) who have ever been tested for HIV and did not receive the result of their most recent HIV test (women: v781 = 1 & v828 ≠ 1; men: mv781 = 1 & mv828 ≠ 1)
c) Number of women (or men) who have never been tested for HIV (women: v781 ≠ 1; men: mv781 ≠ 1)
3) Number of women (or men) who have ever received an HIV test (women: v781 = 1; men: mv781 = 1)
4) Number of women (or men) who have been tested for HIV in the past 12 months and received the result of their most recent HIV test (women: v828 = 1 & v826a in 0:11; men: mv828 = 1 & mv826a in 0:11)
Denominators: Number of women (or men) age 15-49
Variables: IR file, MR file.

The numerator divided by the denominator, expressed as a percentage.
Missing values on receiving an HIV test are interpreted as not tested, and missing values on receiving the test result are interpreted as not receiving the result.
Only respondents who report they have never been tested for HIV are asked if they know where to get an HIV test. If a respondent has received an HIV test, this indicator assumes they know where to get an HIV test. It is assumed that respondents who report that they have never heard of HIV or AIDS have never been tested for HIV.
Previous versions of this indicator included a condition that the HIV test was also offered by a provider (as opposed to requested by the respondent). This condition is no longer included.
In DHS-8, questions on knowledge of where to obtain a test were removed.

Percent distribution of women and men age 15-49 by the number of times tested for HIV in their lifetime
Coverage:
Population base: Women and men age 15-49
Time period: Lifetime of the respondent
Numerators: Number of women (or men) age 15-49 by the number of times tested for HIV in their lifetime (women: v781, v864; men mv781, mv864)
Denominators: Number of women (or men) age 15-49
Variables: IR file, MR file.

v864 |
Number of HIV tests (women) |
|
v005 |
Woman’s individual sample weight |

mv864 |
Number of HIV tests (men) |

Numerator divided by denominator, multiplied by 100.
The number of lifetime HIV tests are categorized as never tested (v781 = 0 or mv781 = 0), 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 plus (v864 or mv864).
Missing values on ever having had an HIV test are interpreted as never tested.
This is a new indicator in DHS-8.
