The data harmonisation is coordinated by the ALPHA Network which curates individual-level data on demographic surveillance, verbal autopsy interviews, serological and sexual behaviour surveys, and individually-linked data from HDSS and medical facilities.\n\nThe data from the Umkhanyakude site in South Africa include two data files:\n\nHIV incidence data  data file:\nThis data 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.\nAll 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.\nTo enable multiple imputation of seroconversion dates we have provided the times (ages) of last negative test and first positive test.\n\n\nMortality  data\nThis datas file was created as described here (https:\/\/gatesopenresearch.org\/articles\/1-4)","coll_dates":[{"start":"2000-01-01","end":"2017-12-31","cycle":"Mortality data"},{"start":"2005-04-10","end":"2017-02-19","cycle":"Incidence data"}],"nation":[{"name":"South Africa","abbreviation":"zar"}],"geog_coverage":"The data covers the Umkhanyakude study area in Kwazulu Natal, south Africa","analysis_unit":"Individuals","data_kind":"Event History Data"},"data_access":{"dataset_use":{"cit_req":"Herbst, K. et al.
