Among men age 15-49 who were tested for HIV the percentage of:
1) Men traditionally or medically circumcised who were HIV positive.
2) Men traditionally circumcised who were HIV positive.
3) Men medically circumcised who were HIV positive.
4) Men traditionally and medically circumcised who were HIV positive.
5) All uncircumcised or don’t know circumcision status men who were HIV positive.
Coverage:
Population base: Men age 15-49 who were tested for HIV (MR file, AR file)
Time period: Current status at time of survey
Numerators:
1) Number of men age 15-49 who were traditionally or medically circumcised and are HIV positive according to the survey blood test (mv483 = 1 & hiv03 in 1:3)
2) Number of men age 15-49 who were traditionally circumcised and are HIV positive according to the survey blood test (mv483d = 1 & mv483e = 0 & hiv03 in 1:3)
3) Number of men age 15-49 who are medically circumcised and are HIV positive according to the survey blood test (mv483d = 0 & mv483e = 1 & hiv03 in 1:3)
4) Number of men age 15-49 who are traditionally and medically circumcised and are HIV positive according to the survey blood test (mv483d = 1 & mv483e = 1 & hiv03 in 1:3)
5) Number of men age 15-49 who are uncircumcised or don’t know their circumcision status and are HIV positive according to the survey blood test (mv483 in 0,8 & hiv03 in 1:3)
Denominators:
a) Number of men age 15-49 who were tested for HIV in the survey and were traditionally or medically circumcised (mv483 = 1 & hiv03 in 0:7,9)
b) Number of men age 15-49 who were tested for HIV in the survey and were traditionally circumcised ( mv483d = 1 & mv483e = 0 & hiv03 in 0:7,9)
c) Number of men age 15-49 who were tested for HIV in the survey and are medically circumcised (mv483d = 0 & mv483e = 1 & hiv03 = in 0:7,9)
d) Number of men age 15-49 who were tested for HIV in the survey and are traditionally and medically circumcised (mv483d = 1 & mv483e = 1 & hiv03 = in 0:7,9)
e) Number of men age 15-49 who were tested for HIV in the survey and are uncircumcised or don’t know their circumcision status (mv483 in 0,8 & hiv03 = in 0:7,9)

The HIV test results data (AR file) should first be merged to the men’s dataset (MR file) by cluster number (mv001/hivclust), household number (mv002/hivnumb) and line number (mv003/hivline). Cases are weighted by the HIV sample weight (hiv05), not the men’s sample weights.
Numerator divided by the denominator multiplied by 100.
Missing data and “don’t know” responses on whether the man is circumcised are treated as not circumcised. Missing data and “don’t know” responses on who performed the circumcision are excluded from numerators 1 and 2 but included in numerator 3 in addition to those reporting other practitioners.
Prior to DHS-VI, questions on circumcision in the DHS standard questionnaire did not include the text defining circumcision as complete removal of the foreskin and did not include a question on provider of circumcision.
In DHS-VI and DHS-7, type of circumcision was assessed through a single question on who performed the circumcision that allowed for only one response. Thus, respondents were able to report only one type of circumcision.
In the DHS-8 standard questionnaire, questions were added asking about traditional circumcision and medical circumcision separately. For the first time, this allows respondents to report both traditional circumcision and medical circumcision. In some settings, traditional circumcision practices do not remove the complete foreskin. In these settings, men who have undergone traditional circumcision may still be candidates for medical circumcision. The question on who performed the circumcision was removed.
In DHS-7 and DHS-8, for surveys with testing to distinguish between HIV-1 and HIV-2, those found positive for either HIV-1 or HIV-2 (hiv03 in 1,2,3) are considered as HIV positive in these indicators.
Prior to DHS-7, for surveys with testing to distinguish between HIV-1 and HIV-2, only those tested and found positive for HIV-1 (including those found positive for HIV-1 only, as well as those found positive for both HIV-1 and HIV-2) (hiv03 in 1,3) are considered as HIV positive in these indicators.
