Description

Definition
ATPRIVVCT (V784L) indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the woman reported a private voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) center as a place to be tested for the AIDS virus.

Some samples in the "AT" series include categories that can be consolidated into a single response. IPUMS-DHS uses supplemental programming to combine these responses in a standard variable such as ATPRIVVCT while preserving the separate responses in country-specific variables. See Comparability for more information on the specific categories combined in this variable.
