Description

Definition
For women who delivered their most recent birth in a health facility, AIDTBEOFFER (V839A) indicates whether they were offered an HIV/AIDS test after they arrived at the health facility but before the baby was born.

The related variable AIDTBET indicates whether the woman was actually tested at this time.

IPUMS-DHS users may also be interested in AIDTANOFFER, a standard variable that indicates whether the woman was offered an HIV/AIDS test as part of antenatal care.
