Other Household Survey [hh/oth]
The ALPHA (Analysing Longitudinal Population-based HIV/AIDS Data in Africa) Network is a collaboration among 10 longitudinal studies in sub-Saharan Africa. These studies collect data on HIV infection alongside demographic, behavioural, socio-economic and clinical data from residents of the study areas. The Network harmonises these data and conducts comparable and pooled analyses on HIV-related research questions.The ALPHA HIV Incidence and Mortality data, Manicaland is part of the international data harmonisation and analysis programme of the ALPHA network.
The data from the Manicaland site in Zimbabwe is provided in two data files
- HIV incidence data
This file includes data on resident study participants aged 15-49 who have had one negative HIV test and at least one subsequent HIV test done within the study for research purposes. Data may be split into multiple observations for each person to describe time spent in different residencies, different age groups and different calendar year periods. All timings are given as age at event, instead of the dates. Dates of birth were rounded to the 15th of the month, and all other dates were offset by the same amount and the time elapsed between the rounded dates is used as the age at event. To enable multiple imputation of seroconversion dates the times (ages) of last negative test and first positive test have been provided
